Winter Joy Dashed: Giant Igloo Demolished
14 Feb
Summary
- A 12-foot-high igloo was destroyed by vandals.
- The igloo garnered 35 million social media views.
- The builders focused on the positive journey of creation.

A group of friends in their mid-twenties found a unique way to combat seasonal depression by building an enormous igloo. The structure, measuring 12 feet in diameter and over eight feet high, was constructed using 80 storage bins to create ice blocks.
The project, documented extensively on social media, captured the attention of millions, with one video alone attracting 35 million views. The builders spent long hours, often until 3 a.m., immersed in the fun of the creation process.
Tragically, the giant igloo was recently vandalized. While the builders were at work, two individuals reportedly broke into the backyard and destroyed the igloo using sledgehammers and metal poles. The builders discovered the destruction upon their return home.
Despite the disheartening vandalism, the friends have decided not to file a police report. They are choosing to focus on the positive experiences and memories created during the construction, emphasizing the journey and the sense of community they felt.
Many online followers expressed their dismay and anger over the destruction of the igloo, with comments lamenting the loss of something positive that brought joy during the winter months.
