Smile 'Doomsday' Seed Bank to open in Norway.

I think this is just the coolest thing ever (literally and not!). This can withstand floods, nuclear war, earthquakes, and more. It is the impenetrable force that is going to protect and house OVER 45 MILLION of the worlds best and most productive crop's seeds, yes, from all over the world! It is hidden deep inside a mountain that never thaws and they said that some of the seed stock in these conditions could last for over 20,000 YEARS!





Yep, Norway is definitely planning to be self-sufficient and save the world. Kudos to them!
