The Svalbard seed bank started flooding
Submitted by enhydra lutris on Sun, 05/21/2017 - 6:31pmWe built a seed bank to preserve food crop seeds against all disasters and catastrophes and buried it in the the world's biggest deep freeze, the Arctic permafrost. It is buried inside a mountain on Spitsbergen, and global warming has produced such unimaginable temperatures there that meltwater flooded into the entrance tunnel.
