An Antarctic Mystery

By: Verne, Jules

No doubt the following narrative will be re-ceived with entire incredulity, but I think it well that the public should be put in possession of the facts narrated in "An Antarctic Mystery." The pub-lic is free to believe them or not, at its good pleas-ure.No more appropriate scene for the wonderful and terrible adventures which I am about to relate could be imagined than the Desolation Islands, so called, in 1779, by Captain Cook. I lived there for several weeks, and I can affirm, on the evidence of my own eyes and my own experience, that the fa-mous English explorer and navigator was happily inspired when he gave the islands that significant name.
