Wikipedia
iglu
An igloo (Inuit languages: iglu, Inuktitut syllabics ᐃᒡᓗ [iɣˈlu] (plural: igluit ᐃᒡᓗᐃᑦ [iɣluˈit])), also known as a snow house or snow hut, is a type of shelter built of suitable snow. Although igloos are often associated with all Inuit, they were traditionally used only by the people of Canada's Central Arctic and the Qaanaaq area of Greenland. Other Inuit 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 to 16 °C (19 to 61 °F) when warmed by body heat alone.

An iglu, more commonly known as igloo, is a type of shelter made from blocks of snow, typically built when the snow can be easily compacted.

The interior is usually heated by a source of heat, often a qulliq, an oil lamp, making the inside much warmer than the outside. It's primary use was for survival in extreme cold environments but nowadays are often built for fun.
