Southern Water Tribe: Yurt and Igloo
Judging from their building style, the Southern Water Tribe community seems to be at least partially nomadic.
If you look closely at the village, you can see both styles, igloo and yurt, as well as a combination of the two.
We see Korra’s parents live in a home that combines the features of two nomadic building styles: The yurt and the igloo.
Like an igloo, the outside of their home seems to be covered/constructed from bricks cut from the snow/ice. Said snow-bricks seems to be build around a wooden frame structure similar to that of a yurt. Also note how the floor of their home is made from stone, not ice.
a portable, bent dwelling structure traditionally used by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia.
An igloo or snowhouse is a type of shelter built of snow, originally built by the Inuit.
Although igloos are usually associated with all Inuit, they were predominantly constructed by people of Canada’s Central Arctic and Greenland’s Thulearea.
Compare, in contrast, the building style of the Northern Water Tribe. It features no nomadic influence, but instead, shares architectural elements with a village in the Earth Kingdom.
Legend of Korra - Book 2
So, who animated it? There seems to be conflicting info out there. Can someone clear this up for me, I’m confused.

Check out the cover of the new LoK art book - arriving from Dark Horse in July. More from MTV Geek here.
Korra Art Of Book!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
I believe the term is “shut and take my money”
Yes, it is true! We are excited to announce that we are currently working on an art book, with Dark Horse again, for Book One of Korra (in fact, I have to work on it tonight). This *is not* the cover, though. We just used the press art from the finale as a temporary cover for solicitation purposes. Joaquim and I are still cooking up the real cover…
Cool, can’t wait to see the pretty :D
march 29th
so far away
and yet
so close
wait so does this mean Korra is not coming out in April?! :(
It probably means it’ll come out mid/end of April? Last year when Korra came out I’m pretty sure the release date/official trailer was released early/mid March and we got the first two episodes the end of March because of that contest, but it didn’t officially come out until April 14th.
So my guess is end of April.
Mixed feelings. So many mixed feelings ):(

Signal boost. Keep an eye out for her jacket. It sucks losing something like this.
Just drop it off at the lost and found, if you find it, or contact her.

Hey guys, sorry to be a downer, but I was wondering if any of you who went to the Korra panel at SDCC in Ballroom 20 have seen my custom Momo hoodie. Members of the gAang, it’s the same one I’ve worn to Comic-con for the past 4 years.
Last time I had it was during the panel, but by the time I…
… shouldn’t have bought cheap import.
