A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER


WINNER OF THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2019

WINNER OF THE STANFORD DOLMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2020


'You'd be crazy not to read this book' The Sunday Times


A Guardian Best Book of the 21st Century


In Underland, Robert Macfarlane takes us on a journey into the worlds beneath our feet. From the ice-blue depths of Greenland's glaciers, to the underground networks by which trees communicate, from Bronze Age burial chambers to the rock art of remote Arctic sea-caves, this is a deep-time voyage into the planet's past and future. Global in its geography, gripping in its voice and haunting in its implications, Underland is a work of huge range and power, and a remarkable new chapter in Macfarlane's long-term exploration of landscape and the human heart.
