Land changed into sea (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estonia

'land' is the definition.
(Estonia is a country)

'changed into sea' is the wordplay.
'changed' is an anagram indicator.
'into'+'sea'='intosea'
'intosea' is an anagram of 'ESTONIA'.

(Other definitions for estonia that I've seen before include "So eat in here in Eastern Europe" , "Country on the Baltic Sea" , "Nation" , "East European country" , "One of the Baltic States" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The New York Times.
