'where to find reindeer' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'pick skinned antelope' is the wordplay.
'skinned' indicates the central letters.
'antelope' becomes 'eland' (eland is a kind of antelope).
The middle letters of 'pick' are 'ic'.
'ic'+'eland'='ICELAND'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
