How we feel warm in igloo?
It is more like "feel less cold". An igloo is made of blocks of snow. They serve to block wind, and insulate the air inside from the cold outside. If the air outside is -50F, the inside of the igloo might be a nice toasty 10F.

How long can an igloo last in cold weather?
The temperatures inside an igloo rarely fall below 10-20 °C (50-68 °F). The igloo acts as a windbreak and a form of insulation to the outside temperatures. Energy from inside the igloo (persons body heat) is kept inside the igloo.
How does an igloo become sealed?
After an igloo is constructed out of ice blocks, a fire is lit inside the igloo. This causes the inner layer of ice to melt. When the melted ice refreezes, it seals the igloo.

How do igloos keep you worm?
The secret to warmth in an igloo is the fact that snow and ice are very good insulators. Apparently what happens is that the inside layer melts, but turns to ice because of the contact with the snow next to it -- so you get good insulation both inside and out. Of course, eventually the igloo would melt, but igloos are typically temporary shelters anyhow, used only for a few days or, at most, weeks. Because the igloo is insulated, it means that the temperature outside the igloo is much colder than inside it, this is mostly to with the fact you are sheltered from the windchill in an igloo.
