Doomsday Vault Will Protect Millions Of Seeds |
|
Oslo, Norway - An Arctic "doomsday vault" aimed at providing mankind with food in case of a global catastrophe will be designed to sustain the effects of climate change, the project's builders said Friday as they unveiled the architectural plans.
The top-security repository, carved into the permafrost of a mountain in the remote Svalbard archipelago near the North Pole, will preserve some three million batches of seeds from all known varieties of the planet's crops.

"(The vault is) simple, it's functional, it runs by itself. We can't have a better design." |
