Arctic seed vault

Work is beginning on a giant vault full of seeds for food crops in a mountain in the Arctic circle.
Built inside a mountain 80m above the high sea level mark (if all polar ice melts) and 18 degrees below freezing lies a vault of over 1.5 million varieties of agricultural seeds. This vault is designed and funded by Norway and the yearly cost will be covered by the Global Crop Diversity Trust. With the threat from Global Warming increasing this vault will act as a safety net for the words agricultural diversity.
