Underland

A poetic journey into the worlds beneath our feet—caves, catacombs, and deep time.

From the Parisian catacombs to the Greenland ice sheets, Macfarlane explores underground spaces that hold memory, myth, and future. His writing blends nature, history, philosophy, and awe into a genre-bending meditation on humanity’s footprint.

Macfarlane’s prose is luminous and slow-burning, inviting reflection on mortality, time, and what we leave behind.
