Ever wondered what it looks like inside a Doomsday vault?
Well, wonder no more!
A new virtual tour grants access to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which stores 'spare copies' of valuable plant seeds in the event that the originals are lost.
It is located on a mountainside on Spitsbergen, an island in the remote Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard in the Arctic Sea, and houses over 1.1 million seed varieties.
The island's permafrost means that the seeds should stay frozen, even if the facility's cooling plant — which maintains a temperature of -0.4°F (-18°C) — loses power.
Now, the online tour unlocks the 'Bond-like' vault's metal doors to the public, something that has never been done since it was opened in 2008.
