I built this igloo yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately because the rain was coming on, I didn’t get my real camera out and I only got this pic with a Blackberry.
Grant's Igloo, took 2 hours to build.
Then it rained all day today. What a terrible day weather-wise for the day after Christmas. The kids had been planning to play Eskimo Family, or Russian Tea Party again, in that igloo. But no, we were indoors all day while the Igloo slowly melted away, but to its credit (and to the credit of its craftsman), it still hasn’t actually fallen, it’s just a withered, low-weight skeleton of its former might. Maybe this is the way to create featherlight igloos. OK, enough futurism. Here is the withered igloo.
It still holds up, but barely. Surely signs of excellent craftsmanship.
I may post future updates on the demise of the Igloo of Christmas Day 2009, in subsequent updates to this post. Which I’m sure would be very well appreciated by the igloo-spotters amongst you.
