Regarding use of the word "Eskimo" in this video: We are now aware, thanks to many polite comments from our audience, that this is viewed as a derogatory term among many native peoples of Canada, as well as in some Arctic regions. Several of our references centered on Alaskan natives, among whom this term is more commonly accepted. Additionally, we used the term in reference to native languages, which are more commonly referred to as Eskimo or Eskimo-Inuit, and not the people, but we should have been more clear and sought out another term. We apologize to those we offended, and have learned a lot. We'll do better in the future, as we always aim to do.

@@Raison_d-etre yes
cry about it
it always felt natural to me to know that isolated structures of snow is kind of warm, ive played so much in the snow (I live in the north of quebec it snows 6 - 7 months a year and it always felt somewhat warm when we'd build tunnels and mini size igloo and stuff
I wonder if this might have helped some of the UN Coalition soldiers during the Korean War (the winter on the peninsula was incredibly brutal in 1950, with some US servicemen measuring like 50 degees Fahrenheit below zero). At Chosin Resevoir and other areas, frostbite became a serious problem and there's footage of guys sleeping in blankets under thin layers of snow (unsure if the cloth tents weren't working or what, but maybe it wasn't making much of a difference). I wonder if makeshift igloos might have worked better in their camps. At least frostbite would have hurt them less.
Imagine the first person to built a house out of ice. People called him crazy, but he had the last laugh.

Oh god
As a veteran mountaineer who has slept in his share of snow caves, when it's -20F outside and a balmy 32F inside, it seems like the tropics. I've gone climbing without a bivy or tent, just a shovel and sleeping bag is all you need.
so as a Canadian who grew up learning about this. polar bears did it first. they dig holes in snow banks. the Inuit copied it. snow and ice are very good insulators because when it gets cold enough, stuff starts repelling heat. several people huddled in a small space where all the heat is reflected back into the space, is quite cozy.
*My brain at 3 AM* : Let's find out why Igloos keep us warm.

This is me rn
Interesting times😂
Hey y’all
That's me at now at 1:53 am!
Who the hell first invented an igloo, anyway? "This ice is too cold. To protect myself I will surround myself with it."
Some one just tried it.I mean like some day some one would discover it and some one did.
DatBoy SoTalented well they probably noticed that the animals dug up and hid in the snow
DatBoy SoTalented Maybe they weren't dumb and realised some properties of heat. That it rises and that it can also be trapped.
They probably were looking for a windbreak at first
cool
A good layer of snow is what keeps most water mains from freezing and bursting during winter. Hence hope for lots of snowfall to keep the frost from penetrating to the pipes.
i'm pretty sure most pipes are below the frost line anyways
The fastest, easiest and best way to keep yourself warm and protect yourself from the weather is just to dig in The snow. Dig down, find a hill and dig side ways into the snow. Its alot faster and easier. Dig a hole and when The weather clears either get going or make a proper shelther (wouldent bet on making a igloo since its quite hard to make it right and very tireing but it is possible) where you can try and make a fire or Light your "portable kitchen" (dont know what its called in english 😂)

This actually all makes sense to me because when i was a kid, i used to play in a foot of snow with a ton of clothes on. However, when I would “bury” myself in the snow and just lay down in it, I noticed I was actually getting warmer despite being covered in snow. Strange phenomenon
I figured that out digging out snowbanks. I would crawl in and be warm.
When I was a kid I use to build an igloo in the backyard when we would get a heavy snowfall. I found out if you would light a candle and leave it in there it will create a hard layer of ice. Believe it or not you are so much warmer in that igloo than you are outside of it. No wind and quiet.

We meet again
In the military we did a field operation for a month in the mountains during winter and it got to -30f some nights, well one of those nights was survival night. We got dropped off in pairs with minimal food, water, or clothing. Basically just you your partner and a shovel and you had to be as comfortable as possible for about 12 hours over night. The only person who managed not to get frost bite or be extremely cold was someone who found a hill and dug out a whole cave to sleep in. You would go in there and start sweating it was pretty cool

Igloos are the new quicksand. Something I'm fascinated by, gets talked about a lot, but I will never have to deal with in my real life.
I dunno, depending where you live or travel to, you may actually encounter quicksand at some point.

My dad taught me how to build one, though it was pretty rough. The ones our ancestors and some of our elders would build were carved and shaped to be surprisingly smooth. Building it this way was better for keeping it warm and nicer to look at. And also, Inuit had a qulliq, a traditional stove fueled by seal blubber to help keep the igloo warm during the night.

@@thomastolbert6184 I'm from Nunavut in Canada
That's amazing.
Snowy Owl Thanks for the local knowledge. How do they choose the ice to cut . How or with what did your ancestors cut it with ? Than You.
I've spent the night in a snowhouse during a blizzard, and the most impressive feature was how deadly quiet it was inside.
Amazing video, but you did miss a step, in order to allow better insulation, they had to melt it slightly with a campfire, and refreeze it. That would add a much better layer of insulation.
"40 degrees warmer than the surrounding air"
so it's still below freezing.
It has to be below freezing or it would melt...
Freezing isn't really that cold though, they would sleep in warm clothing
thats why he said to bring a friend
Real igloos have skins and furs placed on the inside. Within the the furs it reaches a comfortable temperature, and the gap between the firs and the snow prevent it from fully melting.
40 degrees is really hot, more then human body temperature. But somehow I doubt they meant degrees Celsius.
Correct, I missed that part.
There’s no such a thing as cold
There’s hot’nt

comment of the year awards
I remember watching a Magic School Bus about this: Basically ice/snow is always 32oF or close to it for whatever reason, so the interior of the igloo stays slightly above, so while it's not necessarily warm, it's a LOT warmer than the sub zero temps outside, and with the proper clothing you can even stay comfortable.
I was telling my wife about a similar thing the other day. When a hard freeze is coming, farmers will saturate their crops with water. Ice then builds up on the crops creating an insulator, which in turn, protects the crops.
Then why does frost kill plants if Ice protects them?
@@ericbogar9665 i honestly don't know for sure. Maybe the thickness creates a layer of insulation? In Florida, strawberry and orange farmers do it every winter though.
Most likely since the plants are saturated with water the ice forms on the surface. But with a frost, ice will form inside of the plant, which will kill the plant. The idea is to get ice to form outside of the plant cells instead of inside the plant cells as that can cause the cells to burst and die.
There. I finally watched it TH-cam. Are you happy now?

Inuits have just as many words for snow as we do, because their language allows for many compound words. We say, "don't eat the yellow snow", they say "don't eat the yellowsnow".
but more Inuit

I was stationed in Alaska, Fort Wainwright, for four plus years in the eighties and we had to go to arctic survival school if we were aircrewman and pilots. We learned how to build a shelter using pine tree boughs and snow. Room for only one! Dang thing kept us warm enough at 30 below to sleep comfortably.
in New Jersey we would get three months of snow probably around 6 feet. All the kids made igloos. our friend made a triple one with a big one in the middle. The coolest thing I’ve ever seen. They’re actually quite comfortable. If your clothes are dry and you put some thing on the ground, you can actually hang out for quite a while we used to do mean things to each other, though we used to take usually coffee, grinds and spaghetti and throw it inside each other’s igloo walls as a prank. You always knew what somebody had the night before for dinner.

I've heard that in some Inuit cultures huskier women are considered more desriable as wives because they keep an igloo warmer.

Uhmm no. We were a nomadic people. That would be hard work for the sled dogs. But we use to take second wives if the hunter was skilled enough.
Manny Kudlak Some people are naturally fatter than others though, I don't mean to say they favoured obese women. I can't imagine there were any obese inuits prior to industrialisation reaching them, their diet hardly allowed for that.
When I was a kid every time there was a major blizzard I would find a snow drift close to my house and make a fort in it . It would be cozy inside and you could hardly hear any wind from the storm

Ben Jackbag Mank you live in iglo? I have a question, its safe to make a fireplace inside iglo? For make inside more warm

Inuits really don't have many words for different types of snow, it's just that they have lots of different languages and dialects. English actually has more different words for snow. Far more if you include all types of precipitation.
I remember building a igloo with a couple of friends when I was a kid I was surprised how warm it was in there compared to how cold it was outside.

I’m glad you mentioned the lower level where the cold air goes! You got a dig a trench or something to have the cold air go somewhere!
I saw that in a episode of man vs wild
I remember during the winter months living in New England, collecting all of the snow that built up on the porch and making a packed-snow-hut to go outside and hotbox in XD
I'd learned nearly all of this information during the "prep time" for that little project... but any excuse to LEARN is always appreciated, even if it's just minutia about otter biology XD
Simply: Air is a good insulator and the traped air in the snow work as a barrier and tends to keep the inside temperature at the temperature where water turns into snow/Ice. So the zero degree C inside an iglo would be a heaven when the outer air temp is minus40.
Thanks
And I thought the inside of my house is cold when I don't turn up my heat up to 68°...
Plus there's a cold air sink at the entrance so you're conserving your body's waste heat
@Account NumberEight trapped . You can say it porosity of snow or tinny air pockets .
Do You know 90 to 95 percent of snow mass comprises of air?
I just wrote up there ^^ about working construction in the winter. My favourite was when it was -10 C because it was cold enough that everything stayed frozen. You could brush the snow off the lumber and your clothes, gloves, etc without it melting. 0 to - 5 C was the worst because you'd get soaked. At -10 while working, you could strip down to a sweater and insulated overalls and be perfectly comfortable. I had a coworker whose new work coat he paid $300 for "broke". It got wet, then the sun went down and it froze so when he bent his elbow it cracked......
I remember making fairly sizable igloos in the Midwest as a kid. We would make them with five gallon buckets with packed snow. My dog and I spent many nights in these snow buildings/rooms, and always stayed nice and warm with a comfortable coat and insulated undergarments. I’ll never forget those wonderful memories. Never got cold in there, and used my German Shepard as a pillow.
Sounds wonderful!
wow
Or maybe the German Shepherd was using you as a blanket 😂
@@katiesstudycorner1109a self heating blanket!
Basically it keeps you out of the wind, and the body heat is trapped within the enclosure
Very interesting fact about keeping warm. Deer and moose in the forest for example will crouch down and let the snow fall on top of them with their body heat a type of enclosure of snow will form over them. Their body heat against the snow enclosure helps for them to stay warm during the snow storm.
--
From my studies in history the native people who live in the far north of North America over 20,000 years ago crossed over from East Russia via the bearing strait. Back then the strait was joined. Over the many generations some of these native people migrated more south all the way down through to South America.
I never thought Eskimo would be an insult to these people. Eskimo means, "eater of raw meat." These people ate their fish and meat raw. They had no means to roast it especially during the winter months. To help heat their igloo and supply light they would have oil lamps using whale oil. These lamps were kept burning and never put out. Fire was not easy for them to light especially during the winter months. Most of modern day Eskimo people cook their food.
In today's world, the native people use igloos more for tourism. Very few of them live traditionally today. They now have heated homes with electricity, running water internet, satellite TV, and etc. They drive around on snow mobiles during the long winter months and use off road trucks during the summer months. Most of their food is locally hunted and fished. Imported food from the south is very expensive.
When I was a kid I spent some visiting time in the far north of Canada. My father was doing wild life photography, and he used to take me with him at times. When he went out with the guide I stayed in the cabin area with the others. I was not permitted to go outside on my own without an escort. These people were very friendly and were very hospitable to guests. Was a good experience for me.

In the '80s our teacher showed us a BBC David Attenborough nature doco series, I think it was The Living Planet. In it they showed an Eskimo/Eskimaux/Inuit (Alaskan, I think) family building an igloo, but the voice-over specified that the film was already 20 years old at that point and none lived that harsh, nomadic life anymore. Having grown up partially in the desert, I don't blame them.
Man, i had the phone blacked out listening to a playlist and ilas soon as heard this man utter the words "you might even say, its ice cold" i knew what reference he was making.

1:04 Actually, they're not really words, it's just a product of how the language works that means if you want to describe an object, then the description of the object goes withing what we would consider a word: th-cam.com/video/xW4hI_METac/w-d-xo.html
Your definition is one very specific way of looking at "words", and it is not the only definition. It is without question that Eskimo-Aleut languages have an extensive vocabulary for snow, and what I said in the video should not be controversial. What *is* controversial, tracing back to Boas, is whether that extensive vocabulary is significant to their cultural relationship with their environment, or in any way different than how we all relate to our environment using language. That… is an ongoing question (and one that I didn't talk about on purpose)
@It's Okay To Be Smart, Hi at 4:37 you mentioned that, "...the body heat melts the innermost layer thus strengthening the wall..." and that having another warm body will get warmer faster.
My question is, regardless of having 1 or more bodies, will the igloo eventually melt and cause holes in the igloo? Or will the outside cold never let that happen? You never mentioned these. Thanks in advance!
You wouldn't say German has fifty different ways of describing snow, so why Eskimo?
Ya... but it is undeniably misleading to say "Eskimo languages really do have dozens and dozens of different words for snow because there are a lot of different types." It's actually mostly because it's a polysynthetic language... it is only in small part because there are a lot of different types of snow. There are dozens and dozens of words for many common nouns, snow isn't special in that regard. What we would express using a noun-phrase, they express using a unique "word" built up of a root with descriptive affixes.
So I'll repeat, it is because of the nature of the language, not the uniqueness of snow.
I'm only commenting, though, because I think you know that, and I think it is unfortunate that you, who purport to be a reliable source of information would be misleading for the sake of convenient narration.
look up what a 'Agglutinative' language means. 'words' dont apply in that area. A whole sentence is one 'word' with a root word and then around 7 suffixes. The only additional 'words' usually used are subjects, like a person or self-reference. You need to actually learn and research versus vomiting things up that you browsed a bit.
tl:dr - it's not 50 different words for snow, it's one word (snow) with differing combinations of the suffixes in relation to that snow. Language rules towards something like english do not apply to a language like Inuktitut or other Inuk languages.
The igloo doesn’t keep you warm. It keeps you less cold.

1:56 wow this house is beautiful
Before I watch this this is my theory: The igloo keeps the heat in your body in the igloo, therefore keeping it slightly warmer than outside.
Just so you know, the word igloo is actually the Inuktitut (Inuit language) word for house, so it doesn't only refer to a snow house. A permanent wood or brick dwelling would also be called an igloo in Inuktitut.
Words mean different in different languages bruh. Maybe natives of polar regions used that language and so they names their only known home (for them) igloo.

@Hamza Abdi Mohamed That's how you start a conversation isnt it?
Clifford Benenati he wasn’t starting a convo. Actually he’s ending it
Not really wanting to start a heating argument with anyone, but Eskimo languages are agglutinative, meaning you glue words together to make a sentence or phrase. German is similar, but not the same. Eskimo languages glue their word for snow and add more information to the front and/or ends of the base to create a new word with more information. I'm not sure you would consider this a new word technically, but if so, they do have multiple words for snow.
Linguists hate when people bring up the Inuit example to suggest that culture shapes language. We have several words for "frozen water" in English as well (ice, sleet, hail, snow, slush, floe, iceberg, etc).
But yeah, most people don't even know what agglutinative even means. I've tried explaining the different types of synthetic and analytic language characteristics to my dad, and he didn't get it. lol idk how that's relevant but i'm high af right now
Mihaly I'm not a linguist, but I would guess that you are onto something there. However, compared to Eskimo languages and even German, English is non-agglutinative for the most part.
most languages have some kind of agglutination going on, but some synthetic languages use it as a primary means of morphology, and thus are called "agglutinative languages". English is kind of a synthetic language, although it seems to be drifting into a more analytic direction. I'm not even sure what english would be classified as, but it's certainly not the poster-child for the agglutinative group
Turkish or Hungarian or Finnish are agglutinative languages afaik.
Mihaly, that is affixation not agglutination

Nothing as warm as an ice brick cave house. Gr8.
I’ve been winter mountain camping where we built igloos to sleep in. It’s amazing the temperature difference as you crawl inside. The tunnel in below the platform inside is pretty close to outside temp, for us about 0 degrees F. Once two of us were inside the temp was about 78 degrees F to point of sweating inside.
They’re incredibly strong structures as well. We had to dig down a significant depth to find hard enough packed snow to cut blocks. So our igloo was essentially built into a pit for extra wind protection, with a sort of dug in patio area outside. The first night we had heavy snowfall that filled in around the igloo and the pit it was in. The top of the igloo was basically at ground level and completely covered with new snow. We literally built a 2nd igloo on top of it and cut a hole between them to have a two story igloo. When we left it took sledge hammers and a couple hours to knock them down.
this sounds amazing
why knock them down?
@@DugrozReports They can become a hazard for future hikers. Particularly if they get completely covered in new snow they could collapse and injure someone. Generally you attempt to leave no trace, which includes taking down temporary structures.

I love the David Caruso/CSI Miami reference soooooooooo mucho! Also, the science, as always, is amazing!
You are very much right, "cold" itself is nothing, actually it is the "lack of heat" we term as "cold".
Everyone: Corona-virus!!!
TH-cam: wanna know how igloos work?
Prepping us i guess.
Wait for August..
Ikr
Yes
Ii
me stupid me watch 5 times me still don't understand
burak kerten why am I laughing so hard at this.
Burak Kerten same here lol
One word: insulation.
Burak Kerten don't get discourage, me too 😂😂
Dont feel bad its just like locking yourself in an oven the heats got nowhere to escape thus making you warmer!
i think it's an architectural wonder, it's seriously amazing that this is possible
I work construction with the innus … they are really happy hunters and fishermen and they are amazing shots!! I’ve worked in -65 degrees with 70 km/h winds so many times… but they don’t build igloos anymore
wait... so what's the average temperature range in an igloo with one and with multiple people? Why'd he skip this significant question?
wikipedia has the answer: "On the outside, temperatures may be as low as −45 °C (−49 °F), but on the inside the temperature may range from −7 °C (19 °F) to 16 °C (61 °F) when warmed by body heat alone."
That's actually pretty impressive!
this look legite im from canada i know alote about snow xD
saad apple-air-water I hope you're from the French speaking part.
Well, that was interesting ! Now I want to build an giant igloo with a bunch of friends and organize a party in it..
Eu4 PLeb dude you're missing out. I guess just another reason not to live in Florida.
from somebody who was born and raised in florida then raised a bit more in a northern state and brought back to florida, I can give you maybe 100 reasons why not to live in florida

If the Penguins of Madagascar are invited, send me an invite.
Eldarya en rouge Club Penguin?
Thanks for that information i really could need it to learn more :3
Snow being warm? My first contact with the idea was a Soldier waking up, warm, in a Virginia woods covered in a light snowfall during the night.
Snow is an insulator. That's why when you see snow covering the tops of telephone poles the power doesn't short out.
These are different insulation concepts. One is about thermal insulation and the other one is about electrical insulation
@Chem from the Shed Bruh, do some research before you comment nonsense and look like an idiot. Diamond is an excellent conductor of heat but an insulator of electricity. They are NOT the same concepts🤦♂️
@@vruatsa distilled water is a terrible conductor of electricity. This probably explains it.
@Screw youtube He thinks the air gaps in snow explains why it isn't conductive. In truth it's the purity of the water that makes it poorly conductive. And also there's no rule that an electrical insulator will be good at preventing the movement of heat.
Took him 5 minutes to say "Ice is an insulator."
Actually he said it at 2:44, I know cause coincidentally he said it as I read your comment.
Yeha but honestly, still much better than all those videos out there, stretching every little thing into 10 Minutes, even a question like this. I liked the extra information around it
You clearly didn't watch the video. It's the air that acts as the insulation, as well as the water that forms due to the heat. D-
@@omnianima4540 same!!
How about a lesson? 45 minutes to say,,Victorian times were different". You need to stretch it out for more info.
I had the idea recently to build a sort of snow gingerbread house, but ended up just going for an igloo and now I'm suddenly wanting to learn all about igloos.
One salient point, and probably the most important: A proper igloo must be built to accomodate a ceratin number of people. Too big, you freeze. The natives knew this, and built them for maybe three at most, and built a second or third for a larger group to split up. When an entire extended family was on the move, sometimes a very large igloo would be built, complete with a fire inside, but that was not the norm.
I'm literally in a Tropical country, I shouldn't be here.
Well atleast you wont freeze to death when you *somehow* get lost on cold places
Same
I live in Dubai. Don't know why i am here.
florida 🌴
Were are u
Me: reads title
*WHY YES TH-cam, I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW RIGHT NAO*
I'm Tyrone ice cold speckie
That's exactly happened.
I grew up in Alaska, and after living there most my life I gotta say I grew a deep respect for the Inuit peoples of Northern Alaska. Such badasses!
They truly are innovative people.
Beautifully said! Thank you
If they're really cold they should just start a fire in the igloo.
dazhibernian yeah because there is wood in the artics
El DOMINICANO FELIZ There is enough for fires aswell they can buy firewood
Yeah, they should use all that snow to burn
Plimpton Until the last few years I don't think they had much of a chance to import or export anything, now, did they?
RageWolf They have been exporting seal skins for quite awhile now so I would imagine they import aswell
These are the type of video your teacher plays in their smart board
What is a smart board?
Mind Flowers the board that a projector points to
Ryan Hogan ohh. I haven't been in high school since 08
Wasted Bear when i was in school they played his brothers channel because it was biology class and we didn't have skateboards because high school students will break it somehow and just expensive for every class to have one.
Wasted Bear SO TRU
What I love about the igloo is its inuitive design.
It helps you 'eskip' the cold as well.
Imagine having a party in a igloo and saying “Guys it to hot lemme remove some ice.”
When I was a kid, I though penguins built igloos lol. As I got older, I learned the truth :
Are you god damn telling me that penguins dont build igloos? :c
Lord Xephos
Same I used to think they built igloos
It's a dark reality we live in.
GOOD FOR YOU

I felt the cold just by watching this
Come to Wisconsin, I'll show you what cold is
come to Alaska. wimps
Me too weird af
After seeing this comment, I felt more cold
Saima Sick burn
Hey I watched you during science class and now your in my recommend :)
oh that was awesome. the first video of your channel grasped my attention
