    In Norway’s Island territory is where the great “Seed Vault” is where seeds from all around the world lie ( every where from Angola to North Korea) in case of disaster like war or natural events like tsunamis. It is the greatest place to do so because of its temperature.

    I'm not going to lie, Drew, your idea for the densely-populated Svalbard is actually pretty cool. Discovering a new resource that was unknown to man would definitely change a lot for the area, it's almost too good to pass up for like, a fictional setting. Arctic cyberpunk stuff in Svalbard? That'd be great.

      That sounds kinda like what happens if you try the North Pole route in the game "80 Days". There's a city in or near Svalbard that had gone completely underground (I know you definitely stop off at Svalbard at some point), the whole world was steampunk, and there was a North Pole Confederation where all the cultures who lived up there came together at the pole to make their own new country.
      It was badass! :D
