in- Hatteras A letter from a sea captain, signed
only with cryptic initials, directs an
experienced sailor to built and outfit a ship,
and to assemble a crew to sail on a dangerous
adventure. The voyage starts towards a northerly
destination with, as far as anyone knows, no
captain aboard. After some time at sea, the
captain finally appears and announces his
identity, and his plan to sail to the North Pole.
The crew faces dangers and hardship as they fight
their way through the icy seas, while the captain
drives them with single-minded focus to find a
passage ever farther north.In his usual style,
Verne includes lots of history and scientific
explanations in the story. The Adventures of
Captain Hatteras was first published in 1864
under the title Voyages et aventures du capitaine
Hatteras. At the time, the polar regions hadn't
been fully explored with the story set in 1861,
it would be nearly fifty years before an explorer
reached the pole.
