Скачать или смотреть The Arctic Vault That Protects Humanity’s Food

There’s a place on Earth built to survive the end of the world.

Zoom in on Svalbard, a remote archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole.

Only a few thousand people live here, and for months at a time, the sun never rises or never sets.

But deep inside a mountain near the town of Longyearbyen is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

It stores over a million seed samples from crops around the world, sealed underground in permafrost, designed to survive wars, natural disasters, and global catastrophes.

Countries deposit seeds here as a backup for humanity’s food supply just in case.

It’s cold, isolated, and deliberately hard to reach.
