What's Here? by Vismut

14 across clues have an extra letter generated by the wordplay, not to be entered. 2 across clues have an extra three letters generated by the wordplay making a word, not to be entered. When read together in clue order these give a location. The circled cells, read in the normal way, and the letter to be deduced and entered at the centre of the grid, provide an insertion to the location’s name. This all hints at the 13 cells to be shaded in to show the answer.
