How did the inuit build ice blocks?

The Inuit traditionally built ice blocks by carefully cutting and shaping large chunks of snow or ice using specialized tools like saws and chisels. They would often harvest ice from frozen rivers or lakes, ensuring that the blocks were dense and solid. These blocks were then used to construct igloos or for other purposes, utilizing the insulating properties of the ice to create warm shelters in Arctic conditions. The construction process required skill and knowledge of the local environment to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the structures.
