The photo's in Ed's trip report are pretty incredible and I love the igloos. They must have been a blast to sleep in.

The igloos are great to sleep in - roomy, quiet, comfortable, dry, surprisingly warm and lights sparkle and glitter on the walls. Unlike in a tent you have no idea what the weather is doing outside and it doesn't matter. This was my third igloo trip - the previous two were in Yellowstone and I posted about them on March 8, 2008 and March 15, 2007.
