Igloo



[igloo (Inuktitut] iglu / ᐃᒡᓗ, "house", plural: iglooit or igluit), translated sometimes as snowhouse, is a [[shelter constructed from blocks of snow, generally in the form of a dome. Although igloos are commonly associated with all Inuit, they were predominantly constructed by people of Canada's Central Arctic and Greenlands Thule area.
