In the event of Armageddon, I think I know where Ill be headed now. Buried 390 feet deep inside a sandstone mountain on an island between Norway and the North Pole, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, also known as the doomsday vault, is home to the millions of seeds that could save a post-apocalyptic world. These are the spare copies; the back-ups to the back-ups of crop seeds held in the worlds gene banks, sent in by rival nations across the globe. Even North Korea participated and keeps a deposit box there. It is designed to survive the depredations of man, natural disaster, and time. Oh, and the vault also has more than 20,000 marijuana seeds, ensuring weed will indeed survive the apocalypse.

What makes this place even more ideal for an apocalyptic getaway plan, is that under international treaty, military activity is forbidden there. Plus they have beer and weed.

"For example, (in "Noah's Ark') North Korea still owns the contents of their deposit even though Norway owns the facility that houses and protects the hermits kingdoms spare seed supply. No one has access to anyone elses seeds from the seed vault." LOL
