iceland=north european island
I should've said 'around' about to indicate the anagram. Apologies for the confusion.

No worries. (But I do think, in general, that using synonyms in anagram clues is very tough on the solver.)

Really? I thought this would be a gimme.
A smattering of Latin and a basic grasp of Occam's razor should be all you need for this one.

I'll hazard a guess following Mumpo's clue:
Tree walk (end up on Belgian/ Dutch/ German border) (11)

No, no, no.

Just translate, and think literally, rather then laterally.

It's 'ante'. What's before (
ante
) 'lope'?
'Ante'.

I also found it insufficiently clued.
Anyway...
Upping the ante proves explosive here.

maybe better phrased
"Upping ante proves explosive here, just like I love you. (6)
I'm not sure if the last bit is necessary- but to be on the safe side...

Ah! Il colpo di fulmine!
