| Locations | Svalbard,Norway |
| Facility in remote Norwegian Arctic archipelago; often mentioned to be necessary as back-up to restart human civilization. | |
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, often termed the "doomsday vault", is a back-up facility for the world's crop diversity, which also is a storage location for books, archives and documents on long-lasting film,[1] on the Norwegian Svalbard archipelago.
Other facilities?
Articles mentioning it as "doomsday" vault are numerous,[2] and the facility was termed like this from the beginning,[3][4][5] but possibly not as regularly as lately.[6] If this facility is mainly meant to be back-up after nuclear war or impact, it is likely not the only professionally built and financially supported,[7] just the one that gets all media exposure.
A smaller, known project is India's in the Himalayas.[8]
