Svalbard Global Seed Vault - Virtual Tour

Featured Replies

Quote

Large letters on the building’s side hint at the precious collection that’s held within, declaring that here is the entrance to the “Svalbard Global Seed Vault.”

Only a handful of people are allowed inside the vault, and its five metal doors are only opened a few times each year for new entries of seeds. But now, in honor of its 15th anniversary, you can catch a rare glimpse of the vault’s interior through a virtual tour.

Thanks! That's super cool (cheap pun). I've known about this place for a long time, but have never been inside.
