Alternate Northern Housing

Alternate housing in the north. Mrs. jac and the Grandson are examining an igluviaq (snow house, igloo) near the town. it's not well made. the entrance would normally have a tunnel and there might even be a 'window' of ice above the doorway.

love that last shot of the family, bet your grandson had fun exploring. You know John that it is spring right, the stark beauty makes for wonderful photos but that snow has got to melt one of these days..

Nice shots, thanks for sharing.
Build nice or not, I would rather spend a nigh inside in that than out on tundra with no cover.

If you ever have construction defect problems, let me know. Water and wood are my specialties. Water and snow are my requirements.

Late March, early April have always disappointed. You'd think that with over 14 hours of sunshine, it would be a little warmer but no dice. Someday soon ...

It can be 40F degrees warmer inside than out, just with the body heat of two or three people. A semi -permanent winter house might have had a fairly long tunnel entrance with one or two min-domes for storage or as a 'dressing' room. As well, in a family grouping, two or three igluviaq might have been attached by tunnels to a larger unit, a 'common-room' if you like.

We'll have lots of snow for another month or two. I can ship you some. Wood? Not so much.

Thanks for the comments, guys!
John
