Svalbard Global Seed Vault, Norway

Norway's Svalbal Global Seed Vault seems innocent enough, but it's one of the world's most important and safe-guarded places. This place, which houses pretty much all the different kinds of seeds ever genetically engineered by us humans, is humankind's plan B. Yes, you read that right. In the event of a crop-destroying appocalypse that wipes out all our seeds and makes them go extinct, this place will have backups.

So basically, this isn't just one of the most critical places on the face of the Earth; it's also one of the most morbid. Maybe that's why they keep it so far away from civilized society.
