Svalbard Gobal Seed Vault

The "doomsday vault," is seen as humanity's last hope against extinction after a world crisis. 
Its mission is to keep the world's seeds safe.
Cary Fowler, a scientist, conservationist and biodiversity advocate, created it.
There are more than 1,700 genebanks around the world that keep collections of seeds, they are all vulnerable to war, natural disasters, equipment malfunctions and other problems. 

In 2008, the Global Seed Vault was built, carved nearly 500 feet into the side of a mountain. 
In 2015, the Syrian war brought the first withdrawal from the seed vault. 

It is located in Svalbard in a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. 
Svalbard is found north of mainland Europe, halfway between continental Norway and the North Pole.

It cost about $9 million to make.

It is located in an area that is high up to prevent flooding and it is geologically stable and the area has low humidity. 
It is very remote. 
If the electricity goes out or the refrigeration fails, the seeds will also still stay cold due to their location.

The seeds are not meant for distribution to farmers or gardeners. 
They are a genetic resource in plant breeding. 
They are intended to serve plant breeders and other scientists who are involved in developing new crop varieties for farmers.  

It is built to store 4.5 million varieties of crops, with each variety containing around 500 seeds. 
A maximum of 2.5 billion seeds  can be stored in the Vault. 
The vault currently holds more than 860,000 seed samples.
The seeds were donated by almost every country in the world.
