Underground environments are both common work places for\nsome, a place to explore, or a fragile ecosystem that can kill a human. A perfect\nplace to set a story!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this category I include mining, natural cave systems and geysers. All are quite unnatural places to live and explore. Yet humans and creatures can often adapt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old mining areas can be a maze of fall areas, open mined out\nzones, gas pockets, stale air zones, in terms of structure. After a mine\ncloses, if the groundwater is not still being pumped out, then the mine may\nwell slowly fill, or at least develop areas of water, which will be\ncontaminated with residues of whatever metal was extracted. This will in a\nsurprisingly short period of time become quite acidic, and a source of\ncontamination that is almost impossible to manage. An example of mines and the\ndangers of collapse and water is in the Poldark series by Winston Graham. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural cave systems can be quite extensive, housing\ncolonies of all sorts of strange and wonderful creatures. Bats are one such,\nbut there are entire ecosystems involving insects, snakes and bacteria that\nthrive in the ammonia rich atmosphere from the accumulated bat poop. There are\nalso blind fish that generations ago had eyes, yet without the need for them in\nthe dark, slowly lost them. What would happen to humans in this situation? One\nauthor (name forgotten alas) speculated two races of people, one with echo\nlocation, the other heat sensing abilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caves have also served us well as shelters, as the prehistoric\ncave art testifies. But hiding from people, escaping pursuit, smuggling and\nhiding treasure have all been tucked away in caves. Enid Blyton had a\nfascination with cave systems, often the Famous Five explored secret tunnels,\nhidden passages and the like. Jean Auel\u2019s Neanderthals could not rest until\nthey had found another cave to call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catacombs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catacombs are a mix of mining and caves. Often starting out\nas a mine for limestone for instance, they were extended and used for storing\nthe dead. Catacombs exist in many places in the world such as Rome and Paris.\nThey are even home to some specific phosphorescent bacteria. I had my Roman\nsoldier Trajan  in Druid\u2019s Portal slightly\nclaustrophobic as a result of exploring catacombs in Rome as a boy. But as\nplaces for storing the dead, and a haven for rats, poor air, and stagnant\nwater, they have formed the basis for many movies and books such as Indiana\nJones. A combination of horror and history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geysers and hot springs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geysers are interesting \u2013 the chemistry is often highly\nalkaline, boiling hot and mineral rich. Despite this, many different bacteria\nthrive, some being used now in manufacturing plastics and antibiotics. Hot\nsprings are a somewhat more gentle version, with hot mineral rich pools being a\nwelcome feature in cold landscapes. There are also geysers of cold materials on\nother planets, and I refer those interested to https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Geyser<\/a>\nas a starting point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how can these be worked into a story? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For historical fiction, it can be a contemporary use \u2013 the difference\nin working conditions in mines and social structure can be explored. Mark Twain\nmade excellent use of caves when Tom Sawyer, Becky and Injun Joe were trapped\nthere. Horror, love, heroism and danger all showed as the characters did what\nthey could to survive. Or go back into old workings like Indiana Jones or Andy\nMcDermott\u2019s series of archaeological thrillers. Or take a trip to the Earths\ncore in Journey to the Centre of the Earth, or Pellucidar by Edgar Rice\nBurroughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fantasy can really go to town with underground environments.\nReaders are unlikely to forget the foreshadowing horror of the fellowship of\nthe ring going into the mines of Moria, and the wakening of the creatures from\nthe innocent dropping of a pebble down an old well. Dwarves are traditional\nmining races, but many other also \u2013 goblins, dragons and races of debased\nhumans or troglodytes are common in older action books such as RE Howard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science fiction can also explore caverns on ancient planets filled with giant crystals, faceless serpents, frozen lakes of exotic chemicals, mining operations, and ancient civilisations. For instance, Blish in \u2018Welcome to Mars\u2019 and Heinlein both had martians as underground dwellers. Jeanette O\u2019Hagan<\/a> has a YA fantasy series based underground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So venturing underground can be an exciting \u2013 or fatal trip. Full of wonder, danger and the unknown. Isn\u2019t that what every reader wants? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
