What is the Scientific reason why igloos don't melt?
Igloos used to be winter homes for Canadian and Greenland Inuits (the people sometimes called Eskimos). Inuits as a culture don't live in igloos anymore - there's no garage for the snowmobile. Igloos are made with blocks of snow about 2 feet by 4 feet and 8 inches thick. The top edges of the blocks are rounded so the structure forms a dome at the top. An experienced builder can make an igloo in less than two hours. At the top of the igloo is a hole to allow ventilation. This is also a key reason why igloos don't melt. The hottest air and smoke rise up through the hole. In the middle of an igloo, a shallow saucer burns seal blubber for heat and light. A high wood fire might melt the structure. But this wide, low blaze and the inhabitants' body heat keep the igloo relatively warm - between 45 and 60 degrees, experts say. That's not bad, considering it can be 40 degrees below zero outside. The inside wall of the igloo blocks does melt, to some extent. But the outside air is so cold and the building blocks of snow so thick that the blocks continually refreeze.
Why the inside temperature of igloos is high as compared to outside temperature?
Because igloose are made up of ice.
Where do lnuits live?
Alaska
Eskimos choose to live in igloos which is made up of ice even the ice is coldexplain why?
Eskimos stay in there igloos, their body heat warms u the air inside the igloos and the air inside becomes warmer than the air outside. Both air and ice are insulators and they reduce heat loss from inside the igloos to surrounding by conduction..
Do igloos stay warm?
Actually they do. I guess its because the heat stays in.
How did the Inuit people live?
They lived in igloos. No heat, they lived in the snow & they had to hunt their animals.......
Why inside temperature of igloos is high as compare to the outside temperature?
ice is a bad conductor of heat. Any heat generated from inside the igloo, usually from body heat or a small fire, stays inside.
How do polar bears make igloos?
They do not make igloos. Inuit and Eskimos make igloos, not polar bears.
Can the Inuit Indians move their igloos?

By making Clothing made of animal skin. Making igloos out of snow. Burn seal fat for heat
Why do igloos not melt if they have fire inside?
