2 Where can countries store the seeds? You can store seeds in a"seed vault'. It's a place at a special temperature. The seeds don't grow, but they can live for a long time. Norway has the biggest seed vault in the world the Svalbard Global Seed Vault and it has seeds from a lot of different countries. 3 Where is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault? The vault is on the island of Spitsbergen. The island is about one thousand kilometres from the North Pole. It's a very cold place so it's good for seeds. Above the ground, the doorway is small, but inside the building is huge. You walk down a long corridor and one hundred and thirty metres inside a mountain. At the end, there are three large areas with seeds.
