"The grey triangular concrete juts into the air. Its sharp lines contrast a
landscape where it’s hard to differentiate between the frozen surface and a
clear, endless sky.
Sitting on Svalbard, in the Norwegian archipelago, the Global Seed Vault is as
far north as a scheduled flight will take you. It makes it remote but still
accessible.
Dubbed a doomsday vault, it’s essentially a Noah’s Ark for crops; an
international backup to preserve humanity.
Double doors stand at the end of a gangplank that takes people deep inside the
permafrost. From here, it’s just 120 metres into the frozen mountain to reach
the foundations of global food supplies."
