mountain vault


Explanation:
A variant which may or may not fit the context. At Svalbard there is constructed what is called the Svalbard Global Seed Vault inside , where seeds from all over the world are stored for future use in case of situations of cataclysmic proportions. Maybe "vault" is a little too "high security", but I guess it could work well. Check my reference for more info. Plenty of hits too in Google on "mountain vault."
