About this book
Captain John Hatteras is convinced that beyond the Arctic ice lies an open sea, and that an Englishman must be first to plant a flag at the North Pole. His obsession drives the brig Forward ever northward until a terrified crew mutinies and destroys the ship, leaving him with a handful of loyal companions: the cheerful Dr. Clawbonny, the boatswain Johnson, and an American rival pulled from the ice. Together they push across a frozen waste of blizzards, starving bears, and narrow rescues toward a goal that may cost Hatteras his reason. Verne caps the quest with an invented polar landscape that turns cold geography into pure imagination.
