AIMED at providing mankind with a Noah’s Ark of food in the event of a global catastrophe, an Arctic “doomsday vault” filled with samples of the world’s most important seeds will be inaugurated in Norway today.

IN a cavern under a remote Arctic mountain, Norway will soon begin squirrelling away the world’s crop seeds in case of disaster.

AN Arctic ‘doomsday vault’ aimed at providing mankind with food in case of a global catastrophe will be designed to survive the effects of climate change, the project’s builders said as they unveiled the architectural plans.

A “DOOMSDAY vault” hewn out of a Norwegian mountain is planned to safeguard the world’s food crops in case of global disaster.
