Who knows what a Quinzhee?

A Quinzhee is a type of snow shelter made by making a pile of snow, waiting for it to settle together, then hollowing out the inside.



Quinzhee - Inuit word for Shelter!











Inside was Muskox Fur... fresh smell and everything of dead animal/smoke.. ah.. the North











I think we should have camped out the night..

I love to build Quinzhees. I make myself one every year. They are so much fun to spend time in. I have a few pictures of them on my website http://snowforts.ath.cx
