Sunday Times Christmas 4204

Bizarrely, this comes from Sunday Times Christmas crossword of 2006 (discovered among some papers). All done now, but 16a clue is: I travel with Santa, say, and belt around the Arctic? (3-5) Answer is ICE-LEDGE ('I sledge') but how is 'belt around the Arctic' covered? Google gives 'Ice Ledge' as an island in Canada. Am I missing something? Can anyone throw any light?

The edge of something could be a ledge. The arctic is covered in ice, so the outskirts or ledge of the arctic could be an ice ledge.

Yeah, I guess you're right, Squarebear, thanks. The 2 star rating is not a reflection on the quality of your answer, but the murkiness of the clue-setting. Is a belt the same as an edge . . . .?

squarebear

I guess so but who can tell.

Chambers has....Ice-foot ...a belt of ice forming round the coast in Arctic regions (also ice-belt or ice-ledge)

Thank you so much, Doom. Squarebear will be interested too. It's that Chambers dictionary again, which I haven't got (yet). OED had no mention of 'ice-ledge'. Thanks again.
