ICE homes.
Inuit homes were made of snow. The Inuit shaped snow into hard blocks of ice. They made igloos out of the snow to protect themselves from the cold. Igloos were warm, small and comfortable for a temporary home.
Inuits fought for new land and homes also food
They are scattered on the iced surface to stop the ice from melting and slow down the melting.
The Inuit summer homes were called "qarmat" or "tents," typically constructed using materials like animal skins, driftwood, or canvas. These structures were designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, allowing for mobility and adaptation to the seasonal environment. Unlike their winter homes, which were often made of ice and snow, summer homes provided better ventilation and protection from the elements during warmer months.
Inuit traditionally built homes called igloos, which are dome-shaped structures made from blocks of compressed snow, providing insulation against the harsh Arctic climate. During warmer months, they often constructed tents made of animal skins or used sod houses. These homes were designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of many Inuit groups as they followed migratory patterns of game. Modern Inuit may also live in contemporary houses, but traditional building techniques still hold cultural significance.
By ensuring the ambient temperature is below the melting point of the ice.
In the last century, Inuit homes have evolved significantly from traditional structures like igloos and sod houses to more modern dwellings. Many Inuit now live in permanent homes constructed from wood, metal, and concrete, reflecting changes in lifestyle and accessibility to materials. The introduction of modern heating systems, electricity, and plumbing has greatly improved living conditions. However, some communities still maintain traditional practices and designs, blending old and new approaches to housing.
