I love the idea of the igloo, though not sure how load bearing it is! I wonder if a weather balloon or similar inflated off the exhaust would help build the roof better... Can't help but think that more snow or body heat / cooking would have that crashing down otherwise?

Well it works for Eskimos.

Great write up.

I grew up in Norway in the '70s, isnt a day goes by that I dont want to go back.

Made me feel a bit chilly though.....

Did you buy a small troll as a memento?

Hi Pete, yes what a place to live... food for thought! My only souvenir was a sticker - got to travel light

Me again, hello! Did this event for a second time. I know this has ZERO land cruisers in it though it may be of interest to those who were interested in the original trip.

First time I've seen that Chas. Nice. I like that but I do wonder if real Eskimos (Inuits?) watch this as though it was a comedy.
