IGLOO

ESKIMOS

INSIDE OF ANIGLOO

VERYCOLD

FACTS ABOUT IGLOO1. Snow and ice work as insulators to trap body heat in the igloo so the people inside act as a furnace by providing their own heat.2. Even with outside temperatures of minus 50 degrees, the emperature inside an igloo can reach a balmy 60 degrees.3. Snow igloos are constructed with large blocks of dry, hard snow that lean inward to form a dome. The entrance is usually dug below ground level and is only wide enough for one person to enter at a time, though some igloos are large enough on the inside to hold 20 adults.4.The snow begins to melt slightly on the inside of the igloo after a few days when occupied. During the times when it’s unoccupied, the melted snow freezes. The gradual thawing and freezing turn the structure to ice, making it stronger and warmer on the inside.
