From the luminous Waitomo Glowworm Caves to the futuristic Los Angeles tunnels, Chris Fitch takes readers on a journey beneath the surface to discover underground metropolises of natural wonder, unearthed archaeological sites and human-made masterpieces. With 40 different locations around the world to discover, you might wonder if this book could get repetitive. However, nothing could be further from the truth. As a collection of short stories, Fitch enthusiastically reveals the science and history of each location, making it clear there is much more to a cave than you might think. Accompanied by stunning photography and illustrative maps, this book is a great way to escape from the outside world by diving into the depths of another.
