Well, actually, this is just it's front door.

Inside the seed vault are a series of tunnels.

It's not actually that cold right here, but

as we go deeper, it is only going to get colder.

These are the lenghts of tunnel that take you down

This facility was built to last around 200 years

and withstand earthquakes and explosions.

There are three separate vault rooms where seeds are stored

but only one of them is in use right now.

And it's buried over 120 meters from the front door.

The whole point of putting the vaults so deep in this mountain

So, all around me, the earth naturally stays

Assuming, of course, global temperatures don't rise that much.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault works essentially like a bank vault?

like barely they say they are not, and other things?

Just because they have signed the contract. That's it.

Are there any particularity strange crops?

Has anyone deposited anything that is really odd or weird?

but we get some questions from people that wants to put in their own private seeds.

That is really strange and we don't answer those.

This is the door to the vault and behind here, there are nearly a million different varieties of seeds,

You know how I can tell that it's minus 18°C in here?

You can actually feel the moisture in your nose freeze so,

And I see behind you we have some Canadian seeds,

which is exciting for me because I am Canadian.

So what sort of things do we have... From Canada,

I'm really not... Not sure because... This box... On the outside doesn't tell what's in it,

These numbers here are connected to a database on the internet so you can go in there afterwards.

You can go find out what has Canada got stored in the Seed Vault.
