How do you make an igloo roof.
Once complete i cut a small hole in the roof and built a small fire inside the igloo.
Make sure to scoop up the snow from the floor as it will give you extra material.
Use the snow saw or knife to cut large blocks the harder the snow is the more solid the snow.

How to build an igloo.
The entrance should be the last thing you build so work towards it.
Start from the back then the sides that way you dont have a hole in the top of the igloo.
Please try again later.
Cut your trench in a way that places one of its short ends flat against the outer perimeter line of your igloo.
Smooth the edges of the blocks.
I was able to heat it up to 44 deg f inside.
The makings on an igloo only the roof to go.
If working on a slope or building your igloo into a hillside dig your trench directly.
Don t worry about the floor of the igloo it will collect the extra fallen snow as you build.
