Stay at home: Tour the world through Magical Mystery Doors

March 25, 2020 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Magical doors that can transport you to places of wonder have been part of our collective imagination of generations.

Mystery door

Doors have a more significant meaning during the Covid-19 pandemic which currently has much of the world in quarantine and stuck behind closed doors. Those doors are keeping us safe, but they’re also keeping us trapped even if its the invisible virus we should really blame.

Climadoor usually sells real doors. This week, though, given we’re all trapped, the focus is on magical mystery doors.

There’s a virtual tour to experience.

Start the magical mystery door tour!

If you’re brave enough to start the tour, then you might find yourself at the door to King’s Landing in Game of Thrones, outside Monica’s Apartment in Friends or even Star Wars’ Mos Eisely.

There’s the spooky door of Hawkins Middle School from Stranger Things, the iconic Baker Street door from Sherlock and – nature always finds a way – Jurassic Park.

If you could step through any virtual door and tour any virtual land, what would it be?

What is The Door to Hell?

December 3, 2013 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Here on In Pure Spirit I’ve written about The Door to Hell before. The very fact that you’re reading this suggests to me that you’re likely one of the few people to know about it.

That is… until this week. This week popular YouTube channel SciShow covered the crazy location. Here’s their video.

Would you ever be tempted to book a flight, travel half way across the world to Turkmenistan, ride into the desert to check out the Door to Hell. Would you call it holiday?

Perhaps you’ve been there already? If so why not share your thoughts on the weird location in the comments below.

The Door to Hell

This remarkable picture is the door to hell.

It shows a natural gas field in the Ahal Province in Turkmenistan. The area is called “Darvaza” which means “gate”. The gas field as been aflame since 1971. You can smell the sulfur for miles.

The fires started in 1971 when a team of Sciet scientists thought they had found oil and started to drill. The ground opened up, swallowed the rig and caught fire. No lives were lost.

In 2010 the President of Turkmenistan ordered the hole be closed and the gas protected. Easier said than done and as of 2013 the Door to Hell was still burning.

What do you think? Can you see why the call this crater the Door to Hell?
