Global underground storage facility in Svalbard (Svalbard Global Seed Vault)

Global underground storage facility in Svalbard (Svalbard Global Seed Vault), which opened in February 2008, is the largest seed bank of the world.

The so-called "Doomsday Vault" is located in the rock at a depth of 120 meters and a height of 130 meters above sea level. The room temperature cooled to -18 ° C, to prevent aging of the seeds.

Storage on Svalbard is the most secure and thoughtful of all existing in the world, and, according to scientists, will not be affected, even if there will be global warming.
