Introduzione

Construct your very own igloo under the instruction of qualified experts. Each icy block is sawn from the packed snow and must be placed methodically and with great accuracy. How would you measure up to the Inuit?

Upon arrival at the ‘construction site’, teams begin the tricky creative task of building their igloo village. The snow ‘bricks’ are first cut from a snowpack which has been specially prepared by a snowplough machine. These blocks are then systematically arranged in a circular pattern and with each layer, the dome becomes steeper. Have you calculated accurately enough for the structure to hold its shape? How would you compare to the Inuit?

Optional activity combinations: Winter hiking, Sledging or Velogemel riding, outdoor Aperitif
