Die Eissphinx

Verne's imagination brought the icy continent to life, but I'm curious whether real exploration stories influenced this setting or if it was purely fantastical.

The story emphasizes endurance and courage in the face of the unknown. Did that aspect resonate differently for others based on their own experiences?

Verne’s blend of science and fantasy creates a unique atmosphere. I wonder if the fantasy parts were meant to amplify the mystery or serve a different purpose.
