I used to help teach a winter survival shelter class many years ago. We always ended the weekend with the class building igloos after digging out small snow caves and building shelter berms. It was critical to not build the igloo too high nor too wide in diameter, or two people would not be able to warm it up enough with their body heat and a small stove or candle inside. We only used three tiers of main blocks before filling in the top blocks. The first layer were started at a slant right away. There was only enough room inside to lay out and get two packs in. While the temp outside was well below freezing , the igloos, if built small and compact, would easily get to 38F with no stove going, and up to 45F when cooking food or running the stove for heat. Good memories.

They had crazy good snow blocks, perfect for making igloos. For the blocks to make that sound, it need to be frigid cold outside and the snow really well packed...

Man, am I ever glad I ran across this one! Have always wanted to see one built!

when i was in the boy scouts we built igloos similar to this one with the entrance below the ice shelf which is critical for retaining interior heat, but we built individual radial 'spokes' that each person slept in, so we would have between 4 to 8 scouts sleeping in a 10 foot diameter igloo with nobody sleeping inside the actual domed area. with a few candles burning in the center they were really comfortable, especially if it was windy outside. we made our own snow knives out of 1/4"x3" aluminum flat bar, the blanks were bolted together and then run through a table saw with a dado to cut the teeth, and the rest was left up to the individual scout to make the handle and finish the knife however they wanted.

Up in the frozen wastes a well built igloo would last a few years. They were often accompanied by rock works in a specific area. They served as landmarks and shelters for hunters. Quite often igloos were part of winter quarters for the eskimo peoples.

Many years ago I finally managed to make one of these. I live in the UK so its rare that we get enough snow to even think about building one, but one year we had a really deep fall overnight so I decided to have a try. It wasn't as big as this one, but I did manage to finish it. Then I ran inside to get a camera so I could take a photo, but when I came back outside it had collapsed

Yo i'm canadian. These guy's are in the North of Canada, a place where it's incredibly cold... temperature that are so cold, that it's painful when you go outside. It's maybe -45celcuis where they are right now. They use snow that is very compacted to construct the Igloo. You can eitheir built Igloo, with this kind of snow, or if you have something less compacted, you can build a Quizy, wich is similar but a different technic.

Som zo Slovenska a viem odpoveď na vašu otázku. Ak nejde o sneh zo záveju / prefúkaný/ , ten je asi najpevnejší. Vtedy sa sneh spevniť že prv lyžami udupávate , podobne ako keď sa lyžiarske zjazdovky šliapali bez strojov. Potom ešte topánkami stúpať vedľa seba a nakoniec nechať sneh ustáliť. Je to namáhavejší proces. Je i tretia možnosť ktorú sme použili z deťmi na dvore : Nádoba vo tvare kvádra / my sme mali vrch od veľkého auta z PVC/ a vyrábať veľké tehly a nechať ich primrznúť. Pri teplote +5°C by to veľmi nešlo, ale okolo nuly to išlo v pohode. Tento mesiac sa chystám o tom natočiť i video , lebo lepšie je vidieť , ako iba písať.
