Arctic Seed Vault Opens Doors for 100 Million Seeds 
Svalbard Globale frøhvelv åpner dørene for 100 millioner frø
Ceremony Marking Unprecedented Effort to Protect Global Agriculture Draws World Leaders and Seeds from Over 100 Countries 
Seremoni som markerer helt ny innsats for å beskytte globale landbruksprodukter Verdensledere og frø fra over 100 land.
At the opening ceremony, the Prime Minister of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg, unlocked the vault, and together with the African Nobel Peace Prize-winning environmentalist Wangari Maathai he placed the first seeds in the vault. 
Under åpningsseremonien låste statsminister Jens Stoltenberg opp hvelvet, og sammen med den afrikanske fredsprisvinneren og miljøforkjemperen Wangari Maathai plasserte han de første frøene i hvelvet.
The President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, and a host of dignitaries and agriculture experts from around the globe deposited seeds during the ceremony. 
EU-kommisjonens president, José Manuel Barroso, samt en rekke prominente personer og landbrukseksperter fra hele verden, deponerte frø under seremonien.
A variety of Norwegian musicians and choirs also performed in the opening ceremony held 130 m deep inside the frozen mountains. 
Et utvalg av norske musikere og kor underholdt også under åpningsseremonien som ble avholdt 130 meter inne i de frosne fjellene.

Each sample may contain hundreds of seeds or more. 
Hver prøve kan inneholde hundrevis av frø eller mer.
In all, the shipments of seeds secured in the vault today weighed an astonishing 10 tons, filling 676 boxes. 
Frøene som ble sikret i hvelvet i dag, veide hele 10 tonn og fylte 676 kasser.
The opening of the seed vault is part of an unprecedented effort to protect the planet’s rapidly diminishing biodiversity. 
Åpningen av frøhvelvet er en del av en helt ny innsats for å ivareta klodens raskt avtagende biologiske mangfold.
The diversity of our crops is essential for food production, yet it is being lost. 
Mangfoldet i matplantene er helt nødvendig for matproduksjonen, men det minker.
As well as protecting against the daily loss of diversity, the vault could also prove indispensable for restarting agricultural production at the regional or global level in the wake of a natural or man-made disaster. 
Samtidig som hvelvet beskytter mot det daglige tapet av mangfold, kan det også vise seg uunnværlig for å gjenoppta landbruksproduksjonen på regionalt eller globalt nivå etter en naturkatastrofe eller en menneskeskapt katastrofe.
Even in the worst-case scenarios of global warming, the vault rooms will remain naturally frozen for up to 200 years. 
Selv ved verste tenkelige tilfelle av global oppvarming vil rommene i hvelvet holde seg naturlig frosset i opptil 200 år.
“With climate change and other forces threatening the diversity of life that sustains our planet, Norway is proud to be playing a central role in creating a facility capable of protecting what are not just seeds, but the fundamental building blocks of human civilization,” said Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. 
"Med klimaendringer og andre krefter som truer mangfoldet av liv som opprettholder planeten vår, er Norge stolt av å spille en sentral rolle for å skape et anlegg som kan beskytte det som ikke bare er frø, men også de grunnleggende byggesteinene for menneskenes sivilisasjon," sa statsminister Jens Stoltenberg.
“Crop diversity will soon prove to be our most potent and indispensable resource for addressing climate change, water and energy supply constraints, and for meeting the food needs of a growing population,” said Cary Fowler, Executive Director of the Global Crop Diversity Trust. 
"Mangfold i matplanter vil snart vise seg å være den mektigste og mest uunnværlige ressursen for å ta hånd om klimaendringer og restriksjoner på vann- og energitilførsel og for å dekke matbehovet for den økende befolkningen," sa direktør Cary Fowler i Global Crop Diversity Trust.
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is funded and established by Norway as a service to the world. 
Svalbard Globale frøhvelv er finansiert og etablert av Norge som en tjeneste til hele verden.
The Global Crop Diversity Trust is providing support for the ongoing operations of the seed vault, as well as organizing and funding the preparation and shipment of seeds from developing countries to the facility. 
Global Crop Diversity Trust gir støtte til løpende drift av frøhvelvet, samt til å organisere og finansiere klargjøring og forsendelse av frø fra utviklingsland til anlegget.
NordGen will manage the facility and maintain a public on-line database of samples stored in the seed vault, which has the capacity to house 4.5 million samples-some 2 billion seeds. 
NordGen skal administrere anlegget og vedlikeholde en elektronisk database over prøvene som er lagret i hvelvet, som har kapasitet til å oppbevare 4,5 millioner prøver – omkring 2 milliarder frø.
Prime Minister Stoltenberg and Wangari Maathai, founder of the African Green Belt Movement and 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, together delivered the first box of seeds to the vault. 
Statsminister Stoltenberg og Wangari Maathai, som grunnla det afrikanske Green Belt Movement og vant Nobels fredspris i 2004, leverte sammen den første kassen med frø til hvelvet.
It contained rice seeds specially prepared with varieties originating from 104 countries. 
Den inneholdt riskorn som var spesielt pakket med ulike sorter fra 104 land.
The box was opened during the ceremony, and then resealed before being placed in the vault. 
Esken ble åpnet under seremonien og deretter lukket igjen før den ble plassert i hvelvet.
We now understand that along with international movements to save endangered species and the rainforests of the world, it is just as important for us to conserve the diversity of the world’s crops for future generations,” Maathai said. 
Nå forstår vi at i tillegg til internasjonale bevegelser for å redde verdens utrydningstruede arter og regnskoger er det like viktig at vi tar vare på mangfoldet i verdens matplanter for fremtidige generasjoner," sa Maathai.
“The opening of the seed vault marks a historic turning point in safeguarding the world’s crop diversity,’’ said Fowler. 
"Åpningen av frøhvelvet markerer et historisk vendepunkt når det gjelder å sikre verdens mangfold i matplanter, " sa Fowler.
“But about 50 percent of the unique diversity stored in seed banks still is endangered. 
"Men omkring 50 prosent av det unike mangfoldet som er lagret i frøbanker, er fremdeles truet.
We are in the midst of trying to rescue these varieties. 
Vi er midt i arbeidet med å forsøke å redde disse sortene.
Our success means we will guarantee the conservation and availability of these wildly diverse crops. 
Hvis vi lykkes, garanterer vi at disse vidt forskjellige matplantene bevares og gjøres tilgjengelige.
Forever.” 
For alltid."
Unique Building The building of the vault itself has attracted much outside interest due to its location and its unusual engineering, security, and aesthetic features. 
Unik bygning Selve bygningen som hvelvet ligger i, har tiltrukket mye oppmerksomhet utenfra på grunn av plasseringen, samt de uvanlige egenskapene med hensyn til konstruksjon, sikkerhet og estetikk.
Its engineering allows it to stay cool with only a single 10-kilowatt compressor, which is powered by locally generated electricity. 
Konstruksjonen gjør at den holder seg kald med bare én 10-kilowatts kompressor, som går på lokalgenerert elektrisitet.
The vault consists of three highly secure rooms sitting at the end of a 125-metre tunnel blasted out of a mountain on Norway’s Svalbard archipelago. 
Hvelvet består av tre høyt sikrede rom i enden av en 125 meter lang tunnel som er sprengt ut i et fjell på Svalbard.
The seeds will be stored at minus 18 degrees Celsius (minus 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and sealed in specially-designed four-ply foil packages. 
Frøene lagres ved -18 °C og forsegles i spesialutformede firelags foliepakker.
The packages are sealed inside boxes and stored on shelves inside the vault. 
Pakkene forsegles i esker og lagres på hyller inne i hvelvet.
Each vault is surrounded by frozen arctic permafrost, ensuring the continued viability of the seeds should the electricity supply fail. 
Hvert hvelv er omgitt av arktisk permafrost, som sikrer at frøene overlever ved eventuelle strømbrudd.
The low temperature and moisture level inside the vaults will ensure low metabolic activity, keeping the seeds viable. 
Den lave temperaturen og fuktighetsnivået inne i hvelvene sikrer lav metabolsk aktivitet, slik at frøene forblir levedyktige.
If properly stored and maintained at minus 20 degrees Celsius (about minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit), some seeds in the vault will be viable for a millennium or more. 
Enkelte av frøene i hvelvet kan være levedyktige i tusen år eller mer hvis de oppbevares riktig og holdes ved -20 °C.
For example, barley can last 2000 years, wheat 1700 years, and sorghum almost 20,000 years. 
Bygg kan for eksempel vare i 2000 år, hvete i 1700 år og durra i nesten 20 000 år.
Anyone seeking access to the seeds themselves will have to pass through four locked doors: the heavy steel entrance doors, a second door approximately 115 metres down the tunnel and finally the two keyed air-locked doors. 
Alle som forsøker å få tilgang til frøene på egen hånd, må passere fire låste dører; de tunge inngangsdørene i stål, en annen dør omkring 115 meter nede i tunnelen og til slutt de to kodede luftslusedørene.
Keys are coded to allow access to different levels of the facility. 
Nøklene er kodet for å gi tilgang til de ulike nivåene i anlegget.
Not all keys will unlock all doors. 
Ikke alle nøklene kan brukes til å låse opp alle dørene.
Motion detectors are set up around the site. 
Det er montert bevegelsessensorer rundt omkring.
Boxes of seeds inside the rooms are scanned before entering the seed vault. 
Eskene med frø inne i rommene skannes før de kommer inn i frøhvelvet.
A work of art also will make the vault visible for miles around. 
Et kunstverk gjør hvelvet synlig på kilometers avstand.
Artist Dyveke Sanne and KORO, the Norwegian agency overseeing art in public spaces, have worked together to fill the roof and vault entrance with highly reflective steel, mirrors, and prisms. 
Kunstner Dyveke Sanne og KORO, Kunst i offentlige rom, har samarbeidet for å fylle taket og inngangen til hvelvet med sterkt reflekterende stål, speil og prismer.
Svalbard Global Seed Vault (www.seedvault.no) The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is designed to store duplicates of seeds from seed collections from around the globe. 
Svalbard Globale frøhvelv (www.seedvault.no) Svalbard Globale frøhvelv er utformet for å oppbevare duplikater av frø fra frøsamlinger fra hele kloden.
If seeds are lost, e.g. as a result of natural disasters, war or simply a lack of resources, the seed collections may be reestablished using seeds from Svalbard. 
Hvis frøene går tapt, for eksempel som følge av naturkatastrofer, krig eller ren ressursmangel, kan frøsamlingene gjenopprettes ved hjelp av frø fra Svalbard.
The seed vault is owned by the Norwegian government which has also financed the construction work, costing nearly NOK 50 million. 
Frøhvelvet eies av den norske stat, som også har finansiert konstruksjonsarbeidet til nærmere 50 millioner kroner.
The Global Crop Diversity Trust (www.croptrust.org) The mission of the Trust is to ensure the conservation and availability of crop diversity for food security worldwide. 
Global Crop Diversity Trust (www.croptrust.org) Stiftelsens oppgave er å sikre at mangfoldet i matplanter bevares og er tilgjengelig for å sikre matforsyninger over hele verden.
