Two years on and people are checking in as to whether the GPS coordinates actually lead to a vault in Norway or whether it was all just a big marketing stunt.

The vault is said to be down the road from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which was built to serve as the last hope in case the plant life on Earth comes to an end.
