Igloo

Igloo is a snow house. The snow traps the air molecules. These air molecules keep the house warm. The outside temperature may be -45 degrees Celsius. But inside Igloo, it is -7 degrees Celsius.

The best snow to build an igloo is those that are blown by wind. The snow that settled on the ground is prone to weathering.
