One letter base at the very end, preceded by three letter word for examine, check, surrounded by an extremely obscure old two letter word for that. You’ll think that can’t be a word, but it’s in Chambers. Answer is a name.

Hugh, Quisling, thank you!

I enjoyed this, and completed it with less difficulty than some - it took me about 2.5 hours. One and a half hours of total bafflement, then inspiration. I started in the bottom left corner. But I can't see the misprint in the "Enter Antarctic sea" clue. It should be G, but I can only find I.

Luftmensch, maybe the third last word in the clue?

Of course, thank you. I wasn't looking at the definition.

Thanks, Luftmensch, glad I could help.

Just caught up with this which was published while I was at the bottom of the world. Quite a workout but a very satisfying endgame - particularly if, like me, you’re partial to the theme. Thank you, Bungo.

Also just finished this, it being the last of several I brought on a two week holiday. I thought it was excellent.

I did fill a good chunk of the grid after solving around 50% so I think it was fair enough. Helped that I had nearly all the 8s done, and they all intersect with each other quite nicely.
