Where huskies may be used to decorate hat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icecap

'where huskies may be used' is the definition.

'decorate hat' is the wordplay.
'decorate' becomes 'ice' (I've seen this before).
'hat' becomes 'cap' (I've seen this before).
'ice'+'cap'='ICECAP'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for icecap that I've seen before include "Frozen covering of polar regions" , "Antarctic eg" , "Permanently frozen covering of land" , "what's on mountain peak?" , "Permanent frozen polar cover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
