Synopsis
In Canada's Far North, two Inuit men demonstrate the traditional technique of igloo construction using only snow and a knife. The process involves selecting a suitable site, cutting snow blocks, and assembling them into a shelter, completed in just one-and-a-half hours. Commentary explains how the warmth generated inside the igloo, combined with the cold wind outside, helps to solidify the snow blocks. As night falls, the builders prepare for a comfortable evening by moving their caribou sleeping robes indoors, ready to endure the Arctic cold.
