How is the house impacted by the climate?

The houses of the Eskimos are made up of animal skins in order to get protection from the icy cold winds and snow. They are built in a manner that supports the climatic conditions.

In case of long tunnel entrances, they provide storage space in large homes and generally open into the house below the floor level.
