The cache is an easy roadside cache if you are travelling on the N14 past Kathu. Just turn off at the Reitzhof sign and about 100m from the turnoff the cache is located on the right hand side of the road. Find a safe place to park off the apron of the tar road and go hunt for this one. Take some seeds if you wish, to plant at home. The cache is a small pill bottle with the three seed pockets, a small pencil, a sharpener, logsheets and a pirate coin. FTF gets to keep the coin. Please replace cache as found, with the speacial rock facing out. Please do not leave coins as this makes the cache more attractive to Muggles to remove from site if discovered. You are welcome to take some seeds if you wish. I will replenish. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a secure seed bank on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen near Longyearbyen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago, about 1,300 kilometres from the North Pole. The seed vault is an attempt to insure against the loss of seeds in other genebanks during large-scale regional or global crises. The seedbank is 120 metres inside a sandstone mountain on Spitsbergen Island, and employs robust security systems. Seeds are packaged in special three-ply foil packets and heat sealed to exclude moisture. A feasibility study prior to construction determined that the vault could, for hundreds of years, preserve most major food crops' seeds. Some, including those of important grains, could survive far longer—possibly thousands of years. Approximately 1.5 million distinct seed samples of agricultural crops are thought to exist. The variety and volume of seeds stored will depend on the number of countries participating – the facility has a capacity to conserve 4.5 million. The first seeds arrived in January 2008. Five percent of the seeds in the vault, about 18,000 samples with 500 seeds each, come from the Centre for Genetic Resources of the Netherlands (CGN), part of Wageningen University, Netherlands. By 2013, approximately one-third of the genera diversity stored in gene banks globally was represented at the Seed Vault.
