Introduction:

In a cave in Svalbard, Norway, about 1000 km from the North Pole, there is a "doomsday seed bank": about 1 100 million crop seeds from all over the world are kept in-18? In the cellar at 30 degrees Celsius.

Doomsday Seed Bank This seed bank is the safest gene bank in the world, and its security is comparable to that of the US National Gold Bank, and it can even resist earthquakes and nuclear weapons. In September and June, 2008, 65438+ 10, French photographer Caroline Pollan filmed the whole process of transporting plant seeds from a farm in India to the "Doomsday Seed Bank" in Norway, which was the first time that a media reporter walked into this mysterious "Noah's Ark of Plants". ?

Seeds of crops such as wheat and potatoes will be hidden in two secret rooms opened in the mountains, and the walls of the caves will be coated with cement. Each storage room covers an area of 375 square meters, and plastic boxes will be placed on rows of metal shelves.

Each box contains about 400 samples, all of which are put in polyethylene bags, and each sample contains about 500 groups of seeds, which are sealed in waterproof aluminum foil to prevent the refrigeration system from failing when power is cut off. The storage temperature of seeds will be kept at-65438 08℃.
