Some Liverpool girls going back home up north (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

igloo

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

'home up north' is the definition.
'igloo' can be an answer for 'home' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'up north' bit.

'some liverpool girls going back' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'going back' is a reversal indicator.
'oolgi' can be found hidden inside 'liverpool girls'.
'oolgi' written backwards gives 'IGLOO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for igloo that I've seen before include "Innuit dwelling" , "Arctic home" , "Home in the far north?" , "Greenland dwelling" , "Inuit residence" .)
