An igloo is a type of shelter made of snow that is built by the Inuit people of the Arctic. Igloos are typically dome-shaped and can be used as temporary or permanent homes. They are well-insulated and can keep the occupants warm even in the coldest temperatures.

Igloos are made by cutting blocks of snow and stacking them in a spiral pattern. The blocks are typically cut with a snow knife, which is a sharp blade made of bone or metal. The igloo is then smoothed out and the entrance is built at the bottom.

Igloos can be used for a variety of purposes, including sleeping, cooking, and storing food. They are also used as temporary shelters by hunters and explorers.
