Why should you go for it?
¡°The igloo, like the birch bark canoe, is a Canadian icon,¡± states the description.
¡°In its simplicity of form, in its efficient use of a renewable resource, in its method of construction, and above all, in its unequalled insulating properties, the igloo is a marvel of indigenous ingenuity which permitted the Inuit to survive and thrive in the most inhospitable and challenging environment humans have ever inhabited in a shelter that is safe, lasting, comfortable, and which, to this day, puts other snow shelters and modern 4-season tents to shame.¡±
How much does it cost?
The total cost of the experience is $95+
