Neat, I am also interested in the fact there are stairs meaning this was a more permanent structure then what most think of as an igloo.
Maybe more like one of these? https://cdn.britannica.com/22/69922-050-C5873480/Cross-section-dwelling-peoples-North-American-Arctic.jpg
I feel like it's shaped in a way to trap heat, but then the smoke vent just negates that?
Naw the smoke vent will not vent too much heat. I kinda want to build one and find out
You can make stairs out of snow.
Ok sure (not really) but why would you need stairs on a tundra?
My guess is that it's easier to dig out a structure than build one from the ground up.
Lacking doors, this is a way to cut down on wind coming into your igloo.
-
More space.
-
More of the shelter is out of the wind.

The deeper you go, the closer to the 'average' temperature you get, which is usually less miserable than whatever thermometer-breaking sub-zero temperature snap is causing people who are used to the weather to seek shelter.
The interior of well-built igloos was usually in the 60s (F). Quite cozy considering it's the fucking Arctic Circle.
Have you tryed digging frozen ground? You would not do that for a short term dwelling.
Some igloos are made for long-term habitation.
Yes but not the ones people have the image of in their head. Like the picture I showed above. The picture seems to be of a substantial version and I wish I could know more about it.
This is a very arresting photograph isn’t it. Thanks for sharing c:
Wow this is a cool photo, do you have more details for it?
edit
Actually the reverse search got some more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Konek
Konek is an elder,[7][1] and lives in Arviat, Nunavut.
Very cool, thank you for sharing!
I believe to have read that Inuit is the plural and Inuk the singular.
I am not sure though if one is supposed to use singular or plural though in this context (like "a girl od the Inuit" or rather "a girl thats an Inuk")
Sorry for being pedantic.
As I understand it, Inuit is still the accepted ethnonym, in both singular and plural. So an Inuk but an Inuit girl, I think.

You know she's seen some shit.
She looks like she's having nunavut.
I think that expression is saying "wtf are you doing in my house taking my picture?"
Her expression says "I hope I won't bump into the photographer who asked to take a shot of me, because with the sun setting low in my back, I can't see shit as I'm walking down the stairs."
This reminds me of why I stopped playing Skyrim.
You met a beautiful woman focused on survival that looks down on you if you play videogames?
