| Eskimos live in houses called Igloos'. An igloo is made of large square pieces of ice. But the igloo itself isn't square - it looks like half a big white ball standing on a white field of ice. It has a low opening for a door. It even has a window which is just a hole covered with a thin sheet of ice which lets the light in. An Eskimo can build an igloo for his family in an hour inside this house, an Eskimo sleeps on a bed made of hard snow. He uses skins of animals for sheets and covers. There is always a lamp burning inside the house, which gives light and is also used for cooking. The lamp is made of soapstone. It is filled with blubber, an oily material got from whales, which burns easily. Over the lamp is placed a cooking pot, also made of soapstone. Men, women and children wear clothing made of fur. When it is very old, they wear two layers of fur clothing, one on top of the other. The first layer has the hair turned inwards and the second layer has the hair turned outwards. When it is warm one layer of seal skin is enough. |
