SVALBARD SEED VAULT
Alexander Rios
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a depository for over a million seed samples from across the world. It is located on the island of Spitsbergen in Norway's Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. The purpose of the Seed Vault is to have a backup of the world's food crops in case of losses from localized or global calamities. I visited the Seed Vault as well as the nearby town of Longyearbyen in January 2025.
