No. 116. Esquimaux Igloe or Winter Hut, made of turf and stones. The entrance is to the left through a door which is about three and a half feet high. The length of the passage is about twelve or fifteen feet, and at the farther end is another door, through which one has almost to crawl on his hands and knees. After passing through there is then room to stand erect, but one is forced to leave very soon, owing to the bad air.
