    Damn. I was thinking this was an external door at some Antarctic research station since the weather there can get really harsh but I suppose just opening the door wouldn’t be actually that dangerous.

      Maybe not Antarctica, but I could potentially see the same warning on a research station somewhere that polar bears live. Because you might want to go outside, but a polar bear is waiting to rob you.

      > In the winter months, gale storms in Svalbard can reach wind speeds of a hundred and thirty kilometers per hour. Accompanied by, or following, snowfall, such storms can reduce visibility dramatically, more so in the frigid months of the polar night. During these storms, travel is not advised.
