A "doomsday" vault built to withstand an earthquake or nuclear strike opened in February deep in the permafrost of an Arctic mountain, where it will protect millions of agriculture seeds from man-made and natural disasters.

UPDATE: My News Illustrated page in Sunday's South Florida Sun-Sentinel had all the details. In case you missed it you can download the pdf.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault has tons of information on the vault deep within Plataberget Mountain at Longyearbyen, Norway.

There are at least 113,075,986 seeds in the vault. For information on where they came from and a database on the type of seeds check the Seed Portal.

Well, I find this all amazing.
I hope you find it just as interesting.
