- I went to explore the Svalbard Global Seed Vault! This place is also known as the doomsday vault, and it holds a back up of over 1 million seeds! Check out this video to learn more about the vault and why it is here on Svalbard, located just about 5 min away from my house! :)
I hope you enjoy the video! ♡

About Cecilia:
Cecilia Blomdahl is originally from Sweden and moved to Svalbard 5.5 years ago. She works as a photographer and videographer in Longyearbyen, and with her social media channels, check her out on tiktok and instagram. Here on youtube she posts videos about her daily life in her cabin with her boyfriend and her dog Grim, living just outside of Longyearbyen. They are currently building a cabin extension, which is set to be finished in June. Subscribe for videos about her daily life as well as adventures on an island close to the North Pole, with polar bears.
I went to school with the son of the previous Director of the Global Crop Diversity Trust (which helps maintain the vault) for a year in High School. He came to talk to us about the Vault and I remember being so enamoured with the idea of so much history being held within there. I became obsessed with the idea of it ever since and I'm so glad to see in the comments that there are so many others like me who heard about it and were just immediately taken by the Vault. Thanks for showing us.
"Today feels really summery, it's like eight degrees..."
Cecilia would probably melt if she ever came back to the mainland.
Hahah! I really do melt in warm weather 🤣🙈
@@CeciliaBlomdahl do you know what the seed vault has in it
And here in southeast asia, we are battling heat wave. Where I am at now, its 31° and its night time. 🥵
I always wondered why it was a ‘doomsday bunker’ named the Seed Vault. That is amazing. I swear after every video I watch of yours I am even more surprised at how smart Norwegians are. Not to mention the architecture and interior design of almost every establishment is beautiful, new, modern, and so practical & ingenious.
My geography teacher at high school taught us about this when I was like 14 and me and my sister have been obsessed with it since! It’s sheer existence is honestly so interesting and the fact that we have it is incredible!! Thank you for showing us this!
I have heard and known about the "Doomsday" seed vault and you had mentioned it was close by. Thanks for taking us there. Would love to see it in winter lit up. Nice to know all would not be lost in some global catastrophe. Mountain video at the end was beautiful. Doggie loves to Grim❤
Thank you so much for this visit. So ‘cool’ to know it lights up in the dark winter. Enjoy learning about life on Svalbard very much.
Thank you so much for watching! 😍
10/13/2023: Cary Fowler, Memphis, Tennessee USA, thank you for the Global Seed Vault! You’re saving mankind one little seed at a time!
Cecilia, that's the first time I've seen the entrance to SGSV, minus any hype. Thank you. I'm a South African botanist who sourced many seeds for the Millennium Seed Bank (and by extension the SGSV) during the 2000s. Regardless of my reservations regarding "Noah's Ark" projects (we shouldn't f**k up our environment in the first instance), could you inform us as to the maintenance of this facility? Are there dedicated individuals who maintain it as fit for purpose, given rapidly changing environmental conditions? It'd be great to meet them on your channel! Apart from these heady issues, thanks for bridging the northern and southern hemispheres and warm winter hugs from 34.2062° S, 24.8300° E.
Do you want a Drone Strike
I just saw a video of the inside and that, yes, it is working and looked after! I saw the one in Lusaka. As the agriculture librarian for Namibia many years ago I visited the one in Lusaka on an Agris/Caris FAO project. I amin awe of Svalbard. Would love to see it...
Derek from Veritasium channel was inside and the video is on CZcams.
A video on you tube called Inside the Svalbard Seed Vault is very informative. An engineer looks after it with a team of other people it seems..
@@alettacoetzee3950 You were so lucky to see the one in Lusaka! I would give anything to see it!
That's another reason to go to Svalbard, just to see the entrance of that extremely important building.
LOL
prophecy says if you piss on the door you will never be sick again
Sickness be damned. Don’t pee on the seed vault. That’s probably why it got leaks to begin with.
Am I the only one that really are excited about this seed vault?
I went to svalbard I tried whale there and I also saw the museum of the vault and we went hiking it is such a cool place and it is so cold I wish to go back there one day...
Would’ve been so cool if you were able to get somebody to give you a tour of the inside. It’s so interesting to see what’s inside there.
I always get really excited when I see you have posted a video! They bring me so much calm and comfort.
I'm so glad to hear that! 😍
Beautiful music too
How interesting! I never thought that we were safeguarding things like that, but it makes total sense having it up in Svalbard, thank you for showing us!
If you want to explore further or want to know about other structures that are similar in importance, the History Channel is an excellent resource.
@@melisiayoung2925 great when you compare this channel to The History Channel :)
@@erikstenviken2652 :) its cool to see content creators show all aspects of their community. I enjoy seeing Svalbard, Longyearbyen and the outlying areas from an authentic perspective. This channel is very refreshing, no gloom and doom - I personally think the world needs more refreshing content.🥰
As if I needed one more reason to visit! I LOVE the seed vault!
best cinematographer, best documentary,best music, 🏆 loved it so for one my most favourite CZcamsr one of the best example how to live our life everything is amazing around you so positive vibe and your Instagram photos are wow🤩 pls do a star time lapse videos 🙏🏻 love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you so much 😍
I knew about this Seed Storage as I retired from US Dept of Agriculture and we dealt with plants and animals. I worked with scientist who dealt with plant diseases and identify and maintaining samples, I am sure US has seeds stored there😦 Thanks for sharing this place with us. Something interesting is we did plant rescues as like animals, plants are going extinct due to climate changes😢
I'd happily go to Svalbard in any season ... soooo beautiful ❄❄❄
As a science teacher, I find this VERY interesting! Thank you. 😊
8 degrees.. summer.. definitely experience of Irish "seasons" coming into play there...
What an absolutely amazing place the vault is, so glad you did a vlog about it x
Hey Cecilia, next time you head out of town, could you do a video on Pyramiden, the abandoned Soviet town about 30 km outside Longyearbyen? It's actually not-so-abandoned these days; the hotel there was refurbished and the place has caretakers. That would be fascinating!

@@Alloneword-cp2xw Thank you kindly; I saw it and it didn't disappoint as now I want to go there so badly!
@@joshuamoore8560 I did wonder if you'd seen it or not. Had a quick scan of the comments and couldn't see you so thought I'd pass the link on 👍 I want to go too!!! To Svalbard in general.
Thank you so much for showing us this!!! I love this kind of stuff 😊
AHHH ❤️💕 So freaking cool! You've been dropping such gems lately ❤️
Thank youuu! 😍
Thank you for showing us the seed vault, until I started learning about Svalbard I didn't know the world even had one! Still hoping to visit one day!
so glad to see this and know its there
It's 5 minutes from your house 🏠and it's the first time your showing it to us😆😆😆😆👍👍👍👍
So cool ! :) the lights at night on the building are gorgeous!
Thank you Cecilia for all you show us of your beautiful home.
So amazing thank you for posting! Also so happy I found your Instagram and yt channel always so excited to see what’s new and Grimm 😊💕
This was so interesting! Thank you for your time in making this video!
Perfect. Thankyou for this gem.
Amazing I thought it'd be highly guarded!
Before I found your channel I had already read all about this years ago and that’s how I even knew where Svalbard was !
Definitely want to see it when it’s all lit up that does look cool
Wow love all the information and especially thank you for the photo of the Norwegian art work in winter darkness….you are a gem !!! So glad I found you ♥️
Wow the footage at around 7 minutes....amazing! Thank you for sharing!
So cool!! Thanks for showing us!
Thank you Cecelia. I've always wanted to see it, thank you for all the information.
Can you please do a video about locals experience and encounters with polar bears. You can interview Svalbard residents who have observed, met and interacted with polar bears.
This was really fascinating & educational. Thank you for posting it!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😍
Thanks for showing us the Svalbard seed vault. Love it.
Thank you!! It is nice to have a back up plan for the way humans are
thank you i was so waiting for it!
Cecilia, you crack me up, trying to just stroll nonchalantly inside along with a seed delivery 🚚 😤🤣🤣! I actually learned about the seed vault shortly before finding your channel. Hopefully you’ll be able to film inside some day.
We have Derek O'brien here....totally useless fellow...
Good to hear from u...take care ...bye bye...
@@parashantadna1624 who is Derek O’Brien?
An iconic place. Amazing!
Couldn't agree more! 😍
We love your videos, Cecelia. Thanks.
Thank you so much! 😍
Thank you for sharing your visit. I never knew this existed!
Thank you for this post on the Global Seed Vault, Cecilia. The building next to the vault does look interesting, hopefully, it will be a visitor center. Very cool!
Very interesting. Thanks for telling us about the seed vault. The idea of the weather feeling summery when there is snow on the ground is really quite comical, but each to their own ! So long as you're happy with it that way so be it.
The brick color hat is my favorite. I like all your hats, Cecilia. But this one is my favorite. 🧡🤎
Thanks so much for the information on the seed vault! I’ve always wondered about that place. So many wonders to see in this world.
Always nice to hear from you, Cecilia!💅🏻⛄️
Thank you for watching! 😍💙
Oh, YAY! I've been hoping you would show this. 🌾🌱🌿
An interesting episode, your island stores a very precious global elements. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻🇦🇺👍🏻
Great video, Cecilia! This is something I'd thought about and forgotten. Thanks for going and telling us more about it. Looking forward to your next video!
Ive been watching a while, I had no idea THAT'S where the global seed vault is!!
Secret portal to Grimland..😍
🤣🤣 Imagine. Just a bunch of Grims in there. Living Grim life 🤣😍
8 degrees here feels like spring!
It was very interested to hear about that. Thank you for sharing!
Very interesting! I had seen the inside of the seed Vault on a science television show. Thanks for showing this entrance and giving us more information.
Great content and format placement of your life in the north. Thanks for sharing this with us that are your fans. Outstanding job young lady.
Much appreciated! 🤩🤩
Very interesting. Thank you, Cecilia.
Thank you for the beautiful content Cecilia 🥰
😍💕
I cant wait to visit
Been waiting for this video for so long. Also, almost 100k subscribers. Whoohoo
That is simply amazing Of course they would store seeds Just never thought Svalbard
Thank you so much for the information!! Amazing place👍🏻
So cool to learn about the seed vault and in Svalbard! Spent a moment querying "who originated idea of global seed vault" and the one in Svalbard kept coming up so it seems to be the main one, awesome! (?) Thanks for dropping in flight and high season info - what a dream to make it there!
Ooohhhh! Cecilia, Wow, I forgot about this! 5 minutes from your place? HOW COOL!!!
Thank you for showing us! I am near tears!
So glad you enjoyed it! 😍
it is amazing!!!!!
The lighted sculpture is beautiful! I watched a video tour of this before I started following you. Very cool place.
Cecilia, I love your channel. I found it totally randomly just after the New Year and I'm hooked. Thank you so much for this particular video. I've known about the Seed Vault on Svalbard for a couple years (I love watching the Learning Channel here in Canada), and when I discovered your channel, I've been hoping you'd do a video,.
Awesome, job!! And I can hardly wait for your next update on the cabin renovs! Take care and have a great day. Give Grimm a big hug for me. hehehe
James
I'm so glad you enjoy my content! 😍
Brilliant idea
I’ve recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching all your videos. Your channel has it all!! You are so talented and then there’s Grim!! My husband is tired of me telling him to look at all the glorious shots you get…haha!!! Thanks for sharing with us! 💜
New upload?!! Yay 😀! Another good one Cecelia! 😘🤓
Yaaay thank youuu! :)
@@CeciliaBlomdahl did I tell you that emoji is me, with the glasses 🤓😂🥸
תודה לך על ההזדמנות לראות מקלט כזה! הסרטונים שלך מדהימים.
Beautiful and brilliant, wow ! You rock, love your channel !
Loved this! Very interesting!
How cool is it to have the seed vault on your doorstep?! Saw this on a Cosmos episode…thanks Cecilia for your videos, so relaxing 😌 keep them coming!
Nice to know about the seed vault Thanks for the info.Enjoying your vlogs,getting to know what life is like in the Arctic.
How had I not made this connection before now! How cool! Great video, thank you!
Ok, this was so cool to see.
number 1 fan enjoy all of your videos nice to learn about svalbard and you
Love the way you presented the info. Never knew about it.
Thank youuu! 🤩
Wonderful!
I love this!! Your videos are amazing!
Glad you like them! 😍😍
Great photography and background music!!!
Super cool learn something everyday !
Thanks for watching! 😍
I love this video so much!
Oooh I love that part of the entrance with the shards, it looks like the Northern Lights, so beautiful!
Aw, it's a shame you can't get in, but totally understandable of course!
Thanks Cecilia for this video but I must say that watching you with the shootgun talking about the Doomsday Seed Vault looks a little bit apocaliptic, having said that I totally get it, polar bears are no joke there and you don't want to be the lunch of one. Really appreciated the information because I didn't know the exact location of that vault in Svalbard and turns out it is 5 minutes of your cabin, amazing. Take care and see you in the next video.
Thanks for that , I never knew these places existed .....still looking forward to a visit to the shooting ranges !!
Very cool! 😎
Very cool! Such an important part of the world is minutes away from your cabin! I have known of the seed vault for over a decade and have seen one video of a tour - I believe it was for the History channel. Interestingly, the guide shared that a war torn country has recently requested some of their seeds due to entire crops being destroyed by opposing countries. Food and potable water a crucial to have access. Without, none of us can survive.
So interesting!
Great video extremely informative regarding steps taken for all of humanity. Thank you.
Oh wow .. I've been watching your videos since your 3rd one and in all that time, I never once stopped to think that's where the Global Seed Vault is! o.O
Wooow, thank you for watching! 😍
Holy freak I have never heard of this before, how amazingg! This fascinates me so much, even more as a researcher. Thank you for sharing this! I'm going to read more about it. :)
Awesome content Cecilia❤️
Thank you so so much! 😍
Awesome virtual field trip!!!
Thanks for coming along! 😍
Thanks for showing us this, before I started watching your videos all I knew about Svalbard was that the seed bank was there, I didn't realise it was so close to your home! This was a very cool video but I did miss seeing Grim.
It really is so close to everything, I love that it is clearly visible for anyone who travels to longyearbyen! Grim will be back in the next video 😍
I am so jealous 🙃...its so Beautiful 🥰
This was so interesting and also to read everyone’s comments. I never knew anything about this. I’m new to your channel and enjoying it very much.
