This underground lair in WHERE looks like it's straight out of the James Bond or Batman movies.
Located just south of Stockholm, the underground bunker is called Pionen White Mountains and was renovated by Jon Karlun six years ago. The story goes that it was originally part of Sweden's Civil Defense department operations. Sometime in the 1990s it was decommissioned so Karlung converted it into a data center. He purposely decorated and renovated it in a manner that would make it look like a cross between a James Bond villian's lair and something out of the 1972 cult sci-fi film Silent Running.
Since renovation, this underground lair has been home to the famed Wiki-Leaks but is now open for a new tenant.
