Norwegians to Build 'Doomsday' Seed Vault

This just caught my eye. The Svalbard International Seed Vault is being planned to house all the known seed variations of world in the deep Arctic...

Sounds like the prologue of a science fiction epic... "In the year 2007, before the great calamity, the Norwegians had the foresight to deposit a vast and complete seed catalogue in the far reaches of the Arctic...with the nuclear winter dissipating and sunshine breaking through for the first time in centuries, a small band of survivors makes their way to the legendary vault, unsure of the validity of the claim, but pressing on, they alone mankind's last hope..."

or something like that...
