Do Alaskans live in igloos?

Yes! This is a picture of some igloos. "Igloo" means "house" in the Eskimo language. The little snow houses people usually call igloos are only made by Eskimos who are away from home on a hunt. Most kids in Alaska have never seen an igloo like that.  Even Eskimos live in regular houses most of the time. Sometimes we make snow igloos in our yards to play in.
