Depends, did you eat a lot of beans and cabbage?
beans and cabbage.. might be too cool..... it might need to be really spicy
No, you need radiant heat from *outside* your igloo. Melting, however, is a crucial step in igloo construction.

In the Arctic, the sunlight per day can vary anywhere from just a few hours to all day long, but it's important to have the major bricks in place before the sun is at its peak. Igloo-building is a serious process that can occupy one to several full days of strenuous effort.

As the outer layer of the igloo softens, you should use this time to smooth it and add semi-frozen material into the seams, like mortar. It should be as tightly packed as possible, without forcibly shifting the load-bearing elements of the igloo.

The slush-like 'mortar' will set and harden as the temperature drops, forming a smoother layer that is more melt-resistant than the original cut blocks. Its higher albedo will not only repel future sunlight, preserving your igloo's overall shape - but it also serves as a highly effective wind barrier, an important layer of protection from the elements which the structural blocks alone cannot fulfill.

A properly built igloo can achieve insulation ratings similar to that of commercially available home products. Water is an amazing substance! :steamhappy:

you would get crystallized flatulence.

It won’t melt, but it’ll definitely clear the igloo. Might be useful in carving a new exit too.
