An igloo is typically dome-shaped, resembling a rounded, hollow structure made of blocks of compressed snow. This design allows for efficient insulation and stability, as the curved shape distributes weight evenly and helps retain heat inside. The entrance is often lower than the main dome, creating a natural cold trap that keeps the interior warmer.
The top center block in an igloo is called the "keystone." This block is crucial as it helps to hold the structure together, distributing the weight of the snow above it and preventing the igloo from collapsing. The keystone is typically larger than the other blocks and is carefully shaped to fit snugly into the apex of the igloo's dome.
