Igloo

Built by Rob Bicevskis and friend

(all photos on this page by Rob Bicevskis)

 

The igloo is one of those snow shelters that looks really hard to build, but, like many things that are like that, isn't really all that hard after all.

The pictures on this page show Rob and his friend building an igloo.

  

The start of the walls.

About halfway up.

This photo shows how nice the snow is for making snow blocks. You can see that the blocks are thick and have well-defined edges. This shows that they are holding together well.

"Home sweet home"!

The finished igloo is strong enough to stand on!
