What are Igloos?

Short Answer

Solution

Igloos are dome-shaped shelters traditionally built from blocks of compacted snow or ice by Inuit peoples as temporary winter houses; their rounded design prevents snow buildup, they usually have a small entrance to reduce heat loss, and interiors were often lined with animal skins (such as seal) for extra insulation, making them effective cold‑weather dwellings in Arctic regions such as parts of Canada.
