In the punishing cold of the Arctic, on a remote island, scientists are carrying precious seeds to what is considered the safest place on Earth, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
This vault is designed to withstand natural disasters and is crucial for preserving genetic diversity in crops. As climate change poses increasing threats, having a secure backup of key seeds ensures the future of global food supplies.
The vault, located 130 meters above sea level, can safeguard seeds for thousands of years. With nearly 800,000 seed samples from around the world, this facility is essential for maintaining agricultural diversity and securing food resources against future crises.
