Scientifically, the best way to build an igloo is how the Inuit in the North still do it. Here's how to construct your own shelter out of snow.
out there on how to build an igloo, but here’s a simplified method for building one in your own backyard:“Most people underestimate how much snow you’ll need,” says Sijpke. “You’ll need about a foot of snow ice across a fairly large backyard.”Draw a circle
To make it a good circle, jam a stick vertically in the snow where you want your ice fort to be centered. Around that stick, tie a cord that’s half as long as the diameter of your future igloo. For example, if you want a 7-foot wide igloo, which is large enough to sleep in, use a cord that’s 3.5 feet long.
Trace a line at the end of the cord as you walk around the stick. This should give you a nearly-perfect circle.Traditional igloo blocks are 3 feet long, 15 inches high, and about 8 inches thick, but smaller bricks are good for smaller igloos. “One thing you learn when you work with snow is, the minute you touch it, you change it,” says Sijpke. “It generally changes for the better, because it becomes more dense.”Igloo spiralStart laying your blocks around the circle
Make a slight ramp going up, so that the blocks stack on top of each other in one continuous coil. Cut a slight incline into the top of each brick so that the next layer will tilt slightly inward. You may need to prop up some blocks with sticks until you can finish each layer.Bevel the edges so they join together nicely, to reduce the risk of collapsing. Pack snow into gaps between bricks as you go.You can also cut vents into the side. Otherwise you might suffocate in your awesome ice fort.
