Igloo - interesting facts and information
- Construction: An igloo is a structure made of blocks of ice that are arranged in round or oval shapes. The blocks of ice are precisely cut and stacked on top of each other in a spiral pattern, forming a vaulted dome. An opening can be left at the top of the igloo to provide ventilation.
- Materials: Traditional igloos are built from blocks of ice, which are cut from icy snow or ice surfaces. The ice blocks are stable and create thermal insulation, helping to keep the heat inside.
- Thermal Insulation: the igloo provides thermal insulation, which means the interior is warm compared to outside winter conditions. Thick ice walls prevent heat loss and help keep warm air inside.
- Functions and uses: The igloo is used as a temporary shelter for Inuit while hunting or hiking in Arctic regions. Due to its design and thermal insulation, the igloo provides protection from the cold and wind. It is worth noting that nowadays the Inuit are more likely to use modern houses and buildings, and traditional igloos are more rarely used.
- Culture and traditions: The igloo is an important part of Inuit culture. Building an igloo requires specialized knowledge and skills that are passed down from generation to generation. Building igloos together can also be part of social and family traditions, integrating community members.
