Igloos are typically constructed using blocks of compacted snow, which are not joined using traditional joints like mortise and tenon or nails. Instead, the blocks are often shaped to fit tightly together, relying on the natural adhesive properties of snow and ice. The blocks are stacked in a spiral formation, with each block slightly tilted inward to create a dome shape. This design helps distribute weight evenly and provides structural stability.

What time of joints were used to make the igloo?

Igloos are primarily constructed using blocks of compacted snow, which are shaped and cut to fit together without the use of any adhesive. The joints between the snow blocks are typically made using a combination of butt joints and lap joints, where the blocks are stacked and interlocked to create a stable structure. The curvature of the igloo helps distribute weight evenly, enhancing its stability and insulation properties.
