在距离北极点约1000公里的挪威斯瓦尔巴群岛的一处山洞有一座“末日种子库”:约1亿粒世界各地的农作物种子被保存在零下18摄氏度的地窖中。该种子库堪称全球最安全的基因储存库,其安全性堪比美国国家黄金储藏库,甚至可以抵御地震和核武器。2008年九十月间,法国摄影师卡洛琳·波伦拍摄了把印度一农场的植物种子运到挪威“末日种子库” There is a “Doomsday Seed Bank” at a cave in Svalbard, Norway, some 1,000 kilometers from the North Pole. Approximately 100 million crop seeds from around the world are kept in cellar below minus 18 degrees Celsius. The seed bank, the safest repository of genes in the world, is as safe as the U.S. National Gold Reserve and can even withstand earthquakes and nuclear weapons. In September 2008, the French photographer Caroline Boren shot the seeds of plants from a farm in India to the “Doomsday Seed Bank”
