−	The word Igloo, comes from the Inuktitut language of northern Canada, it is also referred to as a aputiak and has a nuktitut syllabic version which means house. The igloos were houses built by the early inhabitants of northern Canada and Russia and are associated with the people of the Great North or Eskimos.

Igloos are often associated with all Inuit, people - it is spelt Iglu in the Inuit language - though it is said that traditionally their houses would have been insulated by snow the structure would have been of whale bone covered in hides.

−	A typical igloo is a dome shape, also called a catenary curve similar to a paraboloid and made of curved or square blocks of packed snow (also called pukaangajuq) or ice cut to size~~, in~~ general ~~one can assume~~ three types of igloo. The first might be the smallest and most temporary form of snow shelter, which would have been constructed by hunters and Inuit families during the winter seasons, during warmer seasons Inuits used a tupiq which was a tent structure similar to a tipi and covered in hides. The second might be slightly larger and semi permanent in nature, it may also have been used by Inuit families and early inhabitants of Greenland, and may have housed two families as a main residence for a longer period of time. Finally less common would be the larger often temporary gathering buildings built by groups and housing up to 25 people for feasts, dances and social gatherings. Today igloos are less common and although they continue to be used by hunters are unlikely to form the semi permanent residences they ~~had~~, though they continue to be of significant cultural importance to Northern or Arctic communities.	+	A typical igloo is a dome shape, also called a catenary curve, similar to a paraboloid and made of curved or square blocks of packed snow (also called pukaangajuq) or ice cut to size.

	A typical igloo is a dome shape, also called a catenary curve similar to a paraboloid and made of curved or square blocks of packed snow (also called pukaangajuq) or ice cut to size, in general one can assume three types of igloo. The first might be the smallest and most temporary form of snow shelter, which would have been constructed by hunters and Inuit families during the winter seasons, during warmer seasons Inuits used a tupiq which was a tent structure similar to a tipi and covered in hides. The second might be slightly larger and semi permanent in nature, it may also have been used by Inuit families and early inhabitants of Greenland, and may have housed two families as a main residence for a longer period of time. Finally less common would be the larger often temporary gathering buildings built by groups and housing up to 25 people for feasts, dances and social gatherings. Today igloos are less common and although they continue to be used by hunters are unlikely to form the semi permanent residences they had, though they continue to be of significant cultural importance to Northern or Arctic communities.
