Detailed explanation-1: -igloo, also spelled iglu, also called aputiak, temporary winter home or hunting-ground dwelling of Canadian and Greenland Inuit (Eskimos).
Detailed explanation-2: -Igloo (iglu in Inuktitut, meaning “house”), is a winter dwelling made of snow. Historically, Inuit across the Arctic lived in igloos before the introduction of modern, European-style homes.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the past they lived in igloos in the winter. Now they use igloos only for temporary shelters while out hunting. The freezing temperatures and the shorter days throughout the winter kept the people inside a good portion of the time.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Eskimo makes his house i.e igloo from ice since the air between the ice walls prevents the inside heat from escaping. Snow is believed to be a good insulator of heat and traps it. Igloos are temporary winter homes mainly found in Canada.
Detailed explanation-5: -Igloos are built from compressed snow. You saw it into chunks like building blocks, then stack the blocks around a circular terraced hole in the snowy ground.
