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.
