Just looked up Chambers - lig means to lie about - new one to me!

........... thanks Tenter and JMR27, in retrospect I should have consulted Chambers, but it simply didn't dawn on me that lig might be a word in its own right!
By the way Tenter I have put "Bering Sea" for anagram 2d.

Sorry can't spell, the answer was obvious so I just wrote it in without bothering as the a/e was not important
