The last type of milk huge for Arctic dwellers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eskimos

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

'arctic dwellers' is the definition.
'eskimos' can be an answer for 'dwellers' (Eskimo is an example). I am not certain of the 'arctic' bit.

'the last type of milk huge' is the wordplay.
'last' says to take the final letters.
'type of milk' becomes 'skim' (I've seen this in another clue).
'huge' becomes 'os' (abbreviation for outsize).
The last letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'e'+'skim'+'os'='ESKIMOS'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eskimos that I've seen before include "They live in igloos" , "Natives of Greenland and Alaska" , "Igloo dwellers" , "Is smoke made by Artic people ?" , "People inhabiting the Arctic region" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
