NORWAY DOOMSDAY VAULT
Originally uploaded by a1e2000

This week Norway has opened the “doomsday” seed vault built to protect millions of food crops from climate change, wars and natural disasters. The vault has been built deep within an Arctic mountain in the remote Norwegian island of Svalbard which lies only 600 miles from the North Pole.

The International Herald Tribune has a great in depth article on this.
