Do Igloos keep people warm?

It depends upon how strong and reliable the materials are that make up the igloo. Igloos are built from compacted snow, which is snow that is compressed, cut down by knives, and into blocks. Snow has many air pockets, unlike ice, and it works very well as an insulator. Snow doesn’t allow heat to get through quickly, which makes snow work well for creating an acceptable igloo.

The inside of the igloo is tiered, which means three levels partition it. The top-level is for sleeping because hot air rises, and you need to be near it as much as possible. The ground level is the workspace, and fires are typically built there. At the very bottom, which is below the ground, there is a hole called "cold dump." This cold dump is where all the air gets dumped as hot air rises.

Yes, igloos keep warm, and this is one of the major reasons why it is being built. Igloos are known to be warm inside, though the surrounding is cold. The outside, which is the surrounding of the igloo house, can be so cold on the temperature of negative 45 degrees Celsius, and the inside can be warm on a temperature of between negative 7 degrees Celsius and 16 degrees Celsius. Igloos are kept warm by body temperature, and you can also have some lights inside.

The inside of igloo is safe to accommodate candles and lanterns without any harm, which can also reduce the temperature of the igloo. In addition, snows are known to insulate, and thus makes the inside hot. Also, with the shape that an igloo house has, it does not allow and accommodate the blowing cold breeze to penetrate into it. The dome shape with which it is built resists the wind.
