Inside the Real Noah’s Ark buried on an Arctic Island

In the event of Armageddon, I think I know where I’ll 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 world’s 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 hermit’s kingdom’s spare seed supply. No one has access to anyone else’s seeds from the seed vault." LOL
