The Inland Iglu is a self-building igloo maker that aims to make the process of crafting an outdoor, ice-made structure as easy as possible for a range of individuals, groups or families. The unit works by being easily set up and equipped with a hose before being turned on, which will start the water misting process. This will create a fully functioning igloo overnight (around 10 to 15-hours) when exposed to subzero temperatures that's strong enough to comfortably support hundreds of pounds of weight on the top to further drive home the safety of the structure.
The Inland Iglu is being launched as part of a Kickstarter campaign where interested consumers can pledge for one at a discounted rate of $349. The kit will also be available in additional styles including castles, rockets and pirate ships.
