-'''Igloo''' is a type of [[shelter]] constructed from blocks of snow, typically built when the snow can be easily compacted. Originating from the [[Inuit]] and [[Yupik]] cultures of the Arctic regions of [[Greenland]], [[Canada]], and the [[United States]], igloos have been traditionally used by these indigenous peoples of the Arctic for centuries as temporary winter shelters. The term "igloo" derives from the Inuit word "iglu," which means "house" or "shelter."

-The construction of an igloo involves cutting large blocks of snow and arranging them in a circular formation to create a dome-shaped structure. The snow used must have sufficient structural integrity to be cut and stacked in such a way. The blocks are carefully shaped and smoothed to fit together tightly, with the gaps between them filled with loose snow to provide insulation. The dome shape of an igloo is critical as it contributes to its stability and ability to retain heat. A small entrance tunnel is often built at the base of the igloo to preserve the interior warmth, as the tunnel traps cold air, preventing it from entering the main living space.

-One of the most remarkable aspects of an igloo is its thermal properties. Despite being made of snow, an igloo can be surprisingly warm on the inside, thanks to the insulating properties of the snow and the heat generated by the occupants. The interior temperature of an igloo can be significantly higher than the outside air temperature, especially when warmed by body heat, lamps, or a small stove. This warmth, combined with the insulating properties of the snow, makes igloos an efficient shelter in the harsh Arctic environment.
-==Cultural Significance==
+== History ==
-Igloos hold significant cultural importance for the Inuit and Yupik peoples, representing a remarkable adaptation to the Arctic's extreme conditions. They are not only a symbol of survival and ingenuity but also a part of the rich cultural heritage of these communities. Igloos have been used for centuries for hunting trips and as temporary shelters during the cold winter months, showcasing the resourcefulness of the Arctic's indigenous peoples.
-==Modern Use==
+Iglo was originally established in the 1950s and has since grown to become a household name in many European countries. The brand's success is attributed to its commitment to quality and innovation in the frozen food sector.
-While the traditional use of igloos has declined with the advent of modern building materials and techniques, they continue to be built for educational purposes, cultural events, and by enthusiasts. Igloos are also occasionally used for adventure tourism in the Arctic, providing a unique experience for those interested in traditional Arctic survival techniques.
