I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cool place?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'one candle lit in' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'lit' indicates anagramming the letters (lit can mean drunk).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'candle' with letters rearranged gives 'celand'.
'i' placed into 'celand' is 'ICELAND'.

Can you help me to learn more?
