Man with igloo melting in country (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mongolia

'country' is the definition.
(Mongolia is an example)

'man with igloo melting' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'melting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'man' put after 'igloo' is 'iglooman'.
'iglooman' anagrammed gives 'MONGOLIA'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for mongolia that I've seen before include "Eastern state" , "Asian country" , "Log Naomi into the vast Asian region" , "Republic of east central Asia" , "Country between China/Russia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
