Svalbard Globale Frohvelv, Norway
In Norway, near the town of Longyearbyen, there is a unique vault, which is unofficially called the "Doomsday" repository. In reality, it is the largest seed store in the world, where seeds of all agricultural crops cultivated on the earth are preserved. The repository is a deep tunnel, which has been cut through the permafrost. Such a complex location of the granary was chosen not accidentally. At a given point of the planet there is relatively little tectonic activity, and the temperatures are so low that the seeds will be preserved even without the help of special refrigeration equipment. The repository of the "Judgment Day" is a kind of insurance in the event of a global catastrophe. If the civilization is destroyed, the survivors will be able to use the seeds to restore the lost crops.
The Svalbard Global Seed Fund Bank was built in two years, its official opening was announced by the Government of Norway in 2008. The length of the tunnel is 120 meters, its space is quite enough to accommodate 4.5 million seeds. The store is highly reliable, it can successfully withstand both the largest earthquake and an entry of a nuclear warhead. In total, there are more than 1400 seed banks in the world, among which the depository of the "Judgment Day" is the largest. Not surprisingly, the entrance to its territory is forbidden to outsiders, at present only some scientists and breeders have access to the repository.
