The Icebox Advantage

What's cool about the Icebox

Actually, it has less to do with temperature and more to do with structure and stability. Indeed, the foremost advantage of an Icebox igloo is its stability. Incorporated into the design of the Icebox as it is used to build an igloo is an intrinsic natural balance called the parabolic curve structure.

This advantageous design will keep the Icebox igloo from collapsing and will prevent outward bulging of the igloo walls. The occupants inside will remain safe and secure while the igloo itself will stand rock solid for a good long time, often enduring the length of an entire season
