The Igloo, Northern Canada a canadian natural wonder ?!?

Most Inuit hunters these days prefer a tent over an igloo any day, the igloo requires the right consistency in the snow and takes and experienced builder about an hour to make. Canadian winters in the Arctic reach -50 Celsius (-58 Farenheit)on a pretty normal occurrence and you don't want to be building an igloo in that weather. Its special because it its a art to build one. The coldest temperature in the Arctic that I saw this year was - 56 Celsius (-69 Farenheit) in Sachs Harbour, Northwest Territories. The coldest temp in the Canadian Arctic was -92 (-134 Farenheit)( with windchill)
