The igloo looks great! Nice work. I loved hearing you sing "Auld Lang Syne" inside.

Happy new year!

I was thinking the same thing!

That looks like an impressive example of an igloo you guys. Good stuff.

Nice looking igloo
I'd imagine that igloo would withstand a very strong wind without any problem, and much quieter than a tent flapping away as well. Did anyone try to see if it would support the body weight of a person.

After 6.5 hours of working on something I would hesitate for a long while before possibly breaking a fine achievement.
I like the interior shot, as it is very revealing as to ambience of light and size.
