How Igloos Keep You Warm: The Science Behind Snow Shelters

This video explores the fascinating science behind igloos, the dome-shaped snow shelters that can keep people warm in freezing temperatures. It explains the thermodynamic principles that contribute to their effectiveness as insulation, highlighting how igloos trap heat and minimize heat loss through conduction, convection, and radiation. The video further compares traditional igloos to simpler snow caves, discussing their construction methods and design features that enhance warmth, including raised sleeping platforms and cold traps at the entrance.
