109'er Blog Arctic Doug, February 12th

Dear Arctic Doug,
Thanks for the cool pictures and the interesting information.
Manuela was wondering about igloo building. What if the snow is too hard when people are inside and you cannot cut a door out? We think that would mean trouble. We infer that the person might die and suffocate.... are we correct? Yikes.
We were wondering about your whale topic. Do people still eat whale and have you had some yet?
Instead of whales, have people ever been so desperate that they had to eat penguin?
When it was so cold, where did the dogs stay to remian healthy? Did you get to go dog sledding like you thought or was it too cold still?
What are you eating while in the Arctic?
Did you sleep in the igloo that James built?
Is it possible for the igloo to collapse?

Here in Chicago, it snowed for more than 24 hours straight and we have had about six more inches since our snow day last week. Today we are finishing our movies and we are getting ready to go to the Board of Education and show our stuff... we are so thrilled. Ms. Randolph is really proud!!!!
