The Adventures of Captain Hatteras

An explorer obsessed with reaching the North Pole undertakes a harrowing expedition in this classic novel of adventure and survival in the Arctic.

Capt. John Hatteras will stop at nothing to reach the North Pole. After having a steamship built for the purpose, he embarks for terra incognita. But when he encounters a frozen sea, mutiny and shipwreck leave Hatteras and his remaining crew stranded on an island in the harsh Arctic winter. Even in the face of death by starvation or polar bear attack, Hatteras knows that the sea must eventually thaw, opening a path to incredible discovery. First published in 1864, The Adventures of Captain Hatteras was written in two parts: The English at the North Pole and The Desert of Ice. It was later included in Jules Verne’s Extraordinary Voyages series, alongside Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days, and many others.
