The seeds were grown and re-deposited at the Svalbard vault last year.

In 2015, researchers made a first withdrawal from the vault after Syria's civil war damaged a seed bank near the Syrian city of Aleppo. A decade ago, Norway said that it had cost $9 million to build the facility. The vault is located on the island of Spitsbergen, in Norway's Svalbard archipelago.ДЄn unexpected thaw of permafrost meant some water flowed into the entrance of the tunnel to the vault in late 2016. The film is stored deep inside a mine called Mine 3 that is frozen in permafrost, ensuring that it keeps a constant temperature. The data is stored as film, rather than on hard drives or other storage techniques. Storing them in digital form allows them to survive the most extreme conditions, including nuclear war. The vault also holds some of the world's most precious books in digital form.
