FOX: Does Norway know something we don’t?
The Scandinavian country announced Monday that it is going to spend about $12.7 million to upgrade its “doomsday” seed vault that is the world’s largest repository built to safeguard against wars or natural disasters wiping out global food crops.
The Verge reported that the upgrades will focus on a new concrete tunnel and “emergency power and refrigerated units and other electrical equipment that emeits heat through the tunnel.”
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a gene bank built underground on the isolated island in a permafrost zone some 620 miles from the North Pole, was opened in 2008 as a master backup to the world’s other seed banks, in case their deposits are lost.
The latest specimens sent to the bank, located on the Svalbard archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole, included more than 15,000 reconstituted samples from an international research center that focuses on improving agriculture in dry zones. They were the first to retrieve seeds from the vault in 2015 before returning new ones after multiplying and reconstituting them. read more
Wasn’t this theme part of a doomsday movie a while back? Seems like it was one of those Mayan 2012 end of civilization stories. They were also collecting works of art.
I hope they are storing medicines like antibiotics and other life saving things. Hey, why not build an ark?
Do they have a chart of who is in charge when the apocalypse happens? Will the doors even open? There is going to be a war just over the seeds.

They’ll spend millions upgrading the seed vault, and then they’ll put a muslim in charge. Hell, they’ve probably got a team of palestinians working on that tunnel already.
Pleas just don’t give the keys to the vault to the Muslim invaders!
Norway: haz all the olympic medals, all the oil monies and now all the foodz.

I know it sounds crazy, but I think every nation should be doing that in case somebody fucks up a strain of wheat or something all to hell. We need those originals.
MJA, We’re too busy storing everybody’s phone calls and text messages. But I’m sure the Cheyenne Mountain deep state bunker is well-stocked with ten different varieties of arugula seeds.
