This is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, often called the “Doomsday Vault.” Located on a remote Norwegian island in the Arctic Circle, it stores over 1.2 million seed samples from almost every country on Earth. Its mission? To safeguard global crop diversity in case of natural disasters, war, or climate catastrophe. Built 120 meters into a mountain and kept at sub-zero temperatures, the vault is engineered to withstand nuclear war, earthquakes, and rising sea levels. It’s only opened about six times a year for limited seed deposits and maintenance — making it one of the most secure and least-accessed places on the planet. #SeedVault #Svalbard #DoomsdayVault #GlobalSecurity #FoodSecurity
