Form a circle with blocks around created where you cut the blocks. Cut the circle in a spiral from
the top of the last block to the ground ahead of the first block, This will make it easy to construct a done.
Build up walls, overlapping the blocks and shaping them so that lean inward. Cut a hole under the wall
for the cold sink and entrance. The last block must initially be larger than the hole. Place the block on top, of the igloo then
from inside, shape and wiggle it to slot exactly into the hole. Hot air from your body and stove rises and is trapped inside the dome.
Cold air falls into the sink and flows away to the outside. It is essential to cut ventilation holes in the walls with anice axe.
With warmth inside the igloo, the surface of the walls will melt and freeze over, to form a smooth, airtight ice surface.
The roof over entrance tunnel prevents snow from blowing into igloo.
