Over nine days, they were taught first aid, firearm safety, how to clean a freshly killed caribou, and the mechanics of constructing a sturdy igloo. The quality that makes a good igloo is the same quality that makes any good apartment: location. A long metal rod with a small ball at the tip called a huvgut can reveal how deep and solid an area of snow is. Next, Karetak drew a circle around himself with a snow knife called a pana.
