It is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. You can search for deposited seeds by country of origin on their site at: http://www.nordgen.org/sgsv/ Warmest regards, J. R.

I remember reading last year on the internet about a large European program to find and store as many world wide native species seed as possible. I forget the name of the project. They were keeping the seed frozen, I presume in much colder temps than my deep freeze can produce. I am curious if South Africa has contributed any seed for that project. Since so many bulbous species are native there.
