It was a story that was too good to pass up. The Svalbard doomsday seed vault had flooded because of global warming induced high temperatures melting the surrounding permafrost. But according to one of the vaults creators, the reports are pretty overblown and everythings fine. Well, the vaults fine. The apocalypse is still ticking along nicely. Just in time for doomsday, Norways Doomsday Vault is getting an expansion. Officially known asRead more Read. The Doomsday Vault is about 8. Arctic Circle and holds close to a million seed samples from all over the world. The idea is that if a certain crop goes extinct, there will be backup samples waiting in the middle of nowhere. So when news broke that the record setting heat over the last year caused the permafrost that the vault is sunk into to melt and seep inside, it was obviously alarming. The Guardian wrote that meltwater was sent gushing into the entrance tunnel. Popular Science spoke with Cary Fowler, one of the creators of the vault to see just how serious the situation really is. Flooding is probably not quite the right word to use in this case, he told them. According to Fowler, a little bit of water has made its way into the entrance every year. Though he wasnt present at the vault when the flooding occurred this year, he insists that its a pretty routine occurrence. The tunnel was never meant to be water tight at the front, because we didnt think we would need that, he tells Pop Sci. Basically, theres a 1. Before you reach the vault doors, the ground shifts uphill. This little area allows water to collect and two pumps can evacuate it. Hege Njaa Aschim, a Norwegian government official, told the Guardian, A lot of water went into the start of the tunnel and then it froze to ice, so it was like a glacier when you went in. And well, thats not really a crisis. In fact, according to Fowler, if the water were to make it all the way uphill it would get hit with temperatures around minus 1. Still, the seed vault is supposed to function without humans having to get involved with maintenance. The Norwegian government is studying the situation and plans to fix the leak. Fowler insists that based on his teams studies, if all the worlds ice melted, and the worlds biggest tsunami occurred in front of the vault it would still be sitting around five to seven stories above the action. And we, of course, would probably be dead. Popular Science, The Guardian.
