I haven't used it, but i guess its a tool to help you properly form your igloo. Hope this helps, and i'll try to find that article for you.

hmmm, that looks interesting, it seems like a bit much to pay for, but maybe I can find a deal...
The product you're linking is actually well worth its cost if you're going to be in an area without large amounts of hard packed snow. The basket is used to hold and compact loose snow into useable, properly angled blocks of snow. While it still takes about 3 hours to build a proper igloo I have found using the product way, way easier than traditional igloo building methods using a snow saw.

Here is a link to a good review of the Icebox tool with a great pictorial showing how it is used.

Edit:
Whoops! I guess the link requires a paid subscription! I am sorry about this; I thought it was a free article. Please see a later post for a summary of the article with pictures.
