SUMMARY: A Google or YouTube search for "most expensive water" or "most expensive bottled water" turns up a quick series of lists. Most use old incorrect data including brands that no longer exist, and/or the prices are wrong. So we've gathered an updated list. We exclude the few "crazy" waters sold for tens of thousands of dollars as publicity stunts and count only brands that are really available somewhere in the world. So here are the world's top 10 most expensive waters in 2019. #10 - $34 per litre - Berg from Canada #9 - $40 per litre - BLVD from Tasmania, Australia #8...

Monday 26 February 2018 marked the 10 year anniversary of the opening of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

Whether by global warming writ large, a growing hungry world population, or wars such...

“It’s like being on another planet” is a frequently heard comment by visitors gazing at Svalbard’s vast arctic wilderness. Taking a flight over this group of islands neighboring the North Pole reveals vast stretches of icy mountains and glaciers where no human has set foot. Yet, in a handful of places the uninitiated might be surprised to spot clusters of lights revealing modern settlements. In these tiny hives amidst the arctic desert, people are engaged in a centuries-old tradition of relying on ingenuity and determination to survive. Nearly all of those efforts have been aided by a natural resource Svalbard was discovered to be rich in: coal. But now that coal's impact on the environment is understood, its role in Svalbard is ending. What comes next for the people who make Svalbard home and the untamed nature they and the entire world want to preserve for future generations?
