in the side of a sandstone mountain. temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees celsius. the seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security doors.the

to last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. workers will not be present all the time. but they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero celsius. the cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.mr. fowler says the proposed structure will be
