The Svalbard Global Seed Vault

TheoGB [Edit] [Delete] 08:52, 24 February '10

I'd never heard of this before last night's 'How Earth Made Us' but it's fucking amazing. Built high enough to withstand the rise of the seas and deep enough to survive a nuclear war...

Was interesting seeing the guy walk through somewhere resembling IKEA's warehouse section and all these boxes were there from all over the world, sent by different courier firms. It almost looked like many hadn't even been opened and checked, just dumped in there with the assumption they were okay. Surely that can't be right.

Cheers Norway.
