At the outer end of the tunnel, where one emerged to the outside, the ceiling of the tunnel was about four and one half feet in height. The general reason for the tunnel dimensions is to prevent wear and tear on mittens and clothing, which can be a very serious matter in subzero temperatures; a needle and thread in the arctic can be as important as a knife and a harpoon.
