Way back in the heady days of 2008 when I was working at a sub-prime mortgage lender (true story, it was us) we had a fella who was 'the MI guy' - his job was to produce some lovely management information reports that told the leadership team how well we were doing at lending money to people who couldn't pay it back. While I had quite a bit of involvement in networks we were a small team so I looked after a lot of the server tin as well back then, and that meant changing backup tapes and that sort of stuff (as was the fashion in those days).

The Arctic wind whipped across my face as I looked up at the entrance of what might be humanity's most important insurance policy. It has been a place that has fascinated me since I read a New Scientist article about it many years ago, and there I was, staring at the concrete wedge jutting from the mountainside, its façade glittering with an art installation that catches the summer Arctic sunlight.
