16. An igloo, or snow hut, is a type of shelter built out of snow traditionally used only by the people of Canada's Central Arctic and Greenland's Thule area. Conduct research to find the specific heat capacity values of the materials that igloos are built from. Then explain whether these are an efficient choice for design of a home in colder climates.
