520    But strange as the journey may be, it's nowhere near as 
       strange as what they will find waiting at its end. One of 
       the lesser known novels by Jules Verne, but certainly a 
       novel that is worth reading, An Antarctic Mystery or The 
       Sphinx of the Ice Fields is a fictional travelogue that 
       describes the narrator's adventures as he travels from 
       Kerguelen Islands, a group of islands in the Indian Ocean,
       towards the South Pole. The novel is the account of the 
       journey made by Jeorling, a rich American who has been 
       studying the wildlife on Kerguelen Islands and is now 
       looking for a way to return to America. However, the 
       journey cannot be that straight - the ship that Jeorling 
       travels by meets an iceberg with a dead body on it and 
       they find a note indicating that some of the crew of the 
       Jane, Pym's ship might still be alive, so Jeorling and the
       crew of his ship go to find out if that is true. The 
       journey is, of course, full of adventures and mysteries, 
       some of which get solved by the end of the book, while 
       others remain mysteries for good, to be solved by the 
       reader's imagination. An Antarctic Mystery comes with all 
       features that make Verne so fascinating. The narrative is 
       as detailed as any of the more famous Verne novels, it 
       unfolds in the typical rhythm and there are just as many 
       detailed and scientific descriptions. The book leaves a 
       lot to the reader's fantasy, too - written in an age when 
       not much was known about the South Pole and many 
       scientists still believed in the existence of an open sea 
       beyond the ice barrier, this unknown territory makes the 
       perfect setting for a fictional travel book.
