A novel by

 
 
Crewmembers sign on for a mysterious voyage to an unknown destination, in a ship without a captain; ultimately Captain Hatteras reveals himself (after posing as a member of the crew) and announces that they are headed for the North Pole. Mutiny follows.. This is the complete tale, containing both parts (which were subsequently often issued separately) -- "The English at the North Pole" and "The Desert of Ice." The tale first came out in French in 1866, but this was the first edition in English, published in June 1874 (though postdated 1875); the British edition edition came out in two volumes later in 1874, and combined in one volume in 1875.
