Svalbard archipelago, Norway

This is the vault at the end of the world where all the seeds on the planet are stored. It is located in the Svalbard archipelago, Norway, about 1,300 kilometers from the North Pole. 

Opened in 2008, this underground storage facility is designed to preserve 4.5 million seeds of crop plants worldwide, acting as insurance against the loss of genetic biodiversity caused by natural disasters, conflicts, and climate change. So, in case the world is ever destroyed and you are the only survivor, you know where to go.
