1. Pionen White Mountains, Stockholm, Sweden
100 feet below the streets of Stockholm lies a granite cave defence bunker from the Cold War era which has been converted into a data centre by Bahnhof. Not only can this data centre survive an H-Bomb, Bahnhof have finished their data centre with the important luxuries which other data centres just don't consider, including a 686-gallon salt water fish tank and an artificial waterfall!

3. Iron Mountain Data Centre, Pennsylvania, US
This experimental data centre is built in a limestone mine which cools equipment directly into the limestone, which can absorb 1.5 BTUs per square foot. Thanks to this absorption and an underground lake, this data centre does not need cooled raised flooring and instead directs heat through ceiling panels and blows it across the roof of the shafts to cool.
