Question

why an igloo is built as a winter shelter​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans. Snow's insulating properties enable the inside of the igloo to remain relatively warm. In some cases, a single block of clear freshwater ice is inserted to allow light into the igloo. Igloos used as winter shelters had beds made of loose snow, skins, and caribou furs. The igloo, usually made from blocks of snow and dome-shaped, is used only in the area between the Mackenzie River delta and Labrador where, in the summer, Inuit live in sealskin or, more recently, cloth tents.

Answer 2

Answer:

To be protected from cold.

Explanation:

Snow provides great isolation and gets hard easily so it is a great choice to build it in a snowy region as it can be found everywhere.
