We'll have many more posts on our vacation, because each day we did a different winter sport or activity including ice climbing, snow shoeing, cross-country skiing, and more. But on the first day, we built an igloo and slept in it that night!
Here's how it went...
Step "0": Get some up-front instructions from the local guide. Of course, the rough-sketch diagrams are drawn in the snow (a "Finnish whiteboard," if you will). He described the end result and process to get there. One interesting aspect is that the entrance should start right on the ground, but then have a small "step" up to the sleeping area. The sleeping area should be a foot above the ground so that cold air does not easily flow into the structure.
Step 1a: Start shoveling snow into a big pile. A lot of it. Because the temperature was so low, the snow was still "crisp" rather than wet. Therefore we were not using blocks to build the igloo (that's another technique) but rather piling the snow and (later) digging out the inside. The diameter of the dome's base has to be enough to fit the number of people you expect to squeeze in there. In our case, we planned to sleep four people.
Step 2: After you've patted down the snow pile (to remove air pockets), insert ceiling markers. The ceiling of the igloo ideally should be about a foot thick. This is the right thickness for strength, but not so much mass that there is a danger of it collapsing. So, while the snow is still freshly piled, we took wood pieces about a foot long and inserted them into the dome, about 2-3 feet apart. (Maybe 30 in total, around the entire dome) Later, when digging out the inside, we will stop when reaching these markers and automatically have the right ceiling thickness.
Step 3: Wait. You need to let the snow settle for a good 3 hours. Fortunately, the sun was strong and that warms the snow and helps it compact. In this time, the entire group went show-shoeing along the local river. (In Summer, vacationers go white-water rafting here.) Here are Frau A and I taking a photo stop along the snowshoe hike.
Step 4: Dig out the inside. It's now later in the afternoon and it's been a pretty active day already, but we took another 3+ hours to finish the structure! Naturally, an experienced Finn could probably do the equivalent work in half the time. Start by choosing an entrance point facing leeward -- you don't want arctic blasts coming in the front door. This takes most of the time, because as you enter further into the snow mound, it is harder to excavate in a tunnel with such a small diameter.
