Actually, igloos are ice structures and ice is an insulator. So, any heat(body heat or a small fire) from inside the igloo will be reflected back from the inner ice wall because ice is an insulator. The heat (Especially from a fire) does melt the inner wall of ice a little but the temperature outside the igloo is so cold that it refreezes the ice back.
So, this insulation property of ice help the eskimos keep warm.
