Pionen White Mountains in Stockholm is the home of one of the most intense [data centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/data-center-infrastructure) in the world. It's home to one of Sweden's largest ISPs, and the sci-fi decor is enough to make anyone feel they've been transported onto a movie set.

The Pionen Data Center was once a [Cold War bunker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-war-museum-regan-vest) and nuclear shelter; its code name from those days, Pionen White Mountains, is retained to this day. Pionen is located [beneath 30 meters of granite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-chamber), so artificial sunlight, greenhouses and a giant fish tank are all implemented in the interior design to simulate a more natural environment.
