The Svalbard Global Seed Vault

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, some remote locale in the Arctic region, has kind of really caught my fancy. The photographs look like something straight out of Dan Brown's books to me. And yeah, all that ice around and all that talk about 'Doomsday' reminds me of 'Day After Tommorrow'!!
But, coming back to reality, I really wonder how the seed vault's really going to help in the event of a crisis. The vault's located in some really remote location in the Arctic - i understand its located there to protect it from human interference - but when we really need it, when there is a real crisis, how the hell are we going to get to it. I mean, there will be very few who'll actually get to access that thing, and somehow I feel, at that point in time, only the powerful developed countries are going to benefit from it. And the rest of the world might just perish away.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I've got absolutely the wrong picture, but maybe, just maybe, I'm right!!
