Norway now has not one, but two doomsday vaults

  • 7 years ago
If you're worried about the apocalypse wiping out all memory of human life, never fear, Norway is here. The Scandinavian country recently opened up a second doomsday vault, called the 'Arctic World Archive,' to go along with their other archive, the Global Seed Vault. The Seed vault has over 1.5 million of the world's most valuable seeds while the World Archive is filled with data stored on photosensitive film that can last up to 1,000 years. Both vaults are located on the same mountain on the island of Svalbard, and were built with former coal mines that go deep into the Earth.
