All About Igloos An igloo or snowhouse is

All About Igloos • An igloo or snowhouse is a type of shelter built of snow, originally built by the Inuit. • Although igloos are usually associated with all Inuit, they were predominantly constructed by people of Canada’s Central Arctic and Greenland’s Thule area.

All About Igloos • Other Inuit people tended to use snow to insulate their houses, which were constructed from whalebone and hides. • Snow is used because the air pockets trapped in it make it an insulator. On the outside, temperatures may be as low as − 45 °C (− 49 °F), but on the inside the temperature may range from − 7 °C (19 °F) to 16 °C (61 °F) when warmed by body heat alone.
