Steer around iodine and uranium for another element (6)

I believe the answer is:

helium

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

'another element' is the definition.
'helium' can be an answer for 'element' (helium is a kind of element). I'm not sure about the 'another' bit.

'steer around iodine and uranium' is the wordplay.
'steer' becomes 'helm' (I've seen this before).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'iodine' becomes 'I' (chemical symbol).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'uranium' becomes 'U' (U is the chemical symbol for uranium).
'i'+'u'='iu'
'helm' placed around 'iu' is 'HELIUM'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for helium that I've seen before include "Lightest noble gas" , "Second lightest element" , "Light colourless gas used in balloons" , "Very light, inert gas" , "Light colourless gas used in airships" .)
