Book
The Adventures of Captain Hatteras
by Jules Verne
The novel, set in 1861, describes adventures of British expedition led by Captain John Hatteras to the North Pole. One of Jules Verne's lesser known stories. As with many of Verne's imaginative creations, his description of Arctic geography was based on scientific knowledge at the time the novel was written (1866) but foreshadowed future discoveries.
