RE: The Svalbard Global Seed Vault celebrates its 10-year anniversary by reaching the 1,000,000-seed sample milestone!

That virtual tour is really cool! It definitely seems smaller than I imagined it when I read about it.

am a little envious that you live in a country enlightened enough to make sure it gets the funding it needs.

The ironic part of it all is that the only reason why the Norwegian government can afford this is because we keep pumping oil up from the ocean..

That sounds like a cool game! Svalbard is a really interesting island, and I hope to be able to visit it myself at one point. It's pretty far away from mainland Noway, so it's not all that accessible to us, and we need weapon training and stuff like that if we want to go outside on Svalbard, due to the polar bears in the area.
