Even though igloos are made up of ice, Eskimos stay warm because their body heat warms the air inside the igloos and the air inside becomes warmer than the air outside. Both air and ice are good insulators and they reduce heat loss from inside the igloos to the surroundings by conduction.

It is a heck of a lot warmer with the fire lit but NOT for long! People say put a hole at the top and it will be OK.

What do Eskimo's do?
"They live in little ice houses (igloos), and they fish." Are you kidding me? I live among the Eskimos and have never a single one live in an ice house. An "iglu" is a house; period. There are many kinds. Today Eskimos live in iglu constructed of wood and glass, with gas, electric, or diesel heaters, stoves, refrigerators, telephones, and even television! The "snowhouses" that people commonly refer to as "igloos" were traditionally constructed only as temporary shelters while out traveling during the cold season. Traditional longer-term (what Westerners might call "permanent") housing was primarily semi-subterranean. The Inuit, which live in Canada and Greenland, used snowhouses for longer-term dwellings. However, Inuit are not Eskimos, and Eskimos are not Inuit. So, while Eskimos do fish (including whaling), they also hunt (caribou, seals, geese, bear, etc); and they do not live in ice houses - even little ones.

What can buildings out of?
A building can be made out of all sorts of different materials, ranging from bricks to wood. A lot of buildings in the USA are built out of wood, but these aren't as strong and durable as buildings that are built out of bricks. A building could even be made out of ice, for example, igloos built by eskimos. Temporary buildings however, are typically made out of stainless steel.
