The diagram illustrates the process how to construct an igloo from snow.
There are various stages, beginning with finding the area covered by hard-packed snow and ending with covering the entrance hole with snow blocks.
In the first stage of the process, after the area covered by hard-packed snow is found, a snow saw is used to cut hard-packed snow into large blocks to build the base. When the base is complete, the next blocks have their edges smoothed by the builder to be placed on top one another, until a dome-like structure is shaped. Then, a hole is dug under the igloo’s wall in order to make an entrance, while on top of the dome, a significantly large block of snow is used to cover the final opening. Thus, an igloo is shaped
Then, softer snow is shoveled on top of the igloo to provide additional coverage, and the builder ensures that this snow is securely packed into all crevices between the stones. Following that, the wall inside the igloo is smoothed by hand, and any extra snow is shoved out the igloo.
Finally, a hole is dug in the shape of the entrance, and then is covered with more snow blocks to create an igloo
