    The ‘Doomsday’ Seed Vault Is Taking in New Samples

    A remote seed vault on the Arctic island of Spitsbergen is receiving new deposits this week from gene banks in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania. Nicknamed the ‘Doomsday Vault,’ the depository is opened only a few times a year for seed withdrawals and deposits; it will be sealed again on February 18.
