It was a bold project of Hatteras to push his way to the North Pole, and gain for his country the honour and glory of its discovery. But he had done all that lay in human power now, and, after having struggled for nine months against currents and tempests, shattering icebergs and breaking through almost insurmountable barriers, amid the cold of an unprecedented winter, after having outdistanced all his predecessors and accomplished half his task, he suddenly saw all his hopes blasted. The treachery, or rather the despondency, of his worn-out crew, and the criminal folly of one or two leading spirits among them had left him and his little band of men in a terrible situation-helpless in an icy desert, two thousand five hundred miles away from their native land, and without even a ship to shelter them.

Nuevamente resalto la mención de la fe en la providencia divina.
Como si hubiera leído mi indicación de la mentalidad tan desentendida del abuso de recursos y la caza encuentro en esta obra unas escenas de respeto y admiración por la naturaleza.
En esta obra también encontramos algunos capítulos donde se explaya la descripción y explicación de conocimientos científicos que no se verificaba en la anterior obra.
La gran voluntad siempre es motor de los aventureros que pretenden descubrimientos en la obra de Verne. Pero hasta donde he leído a Verne (y no son más de 15 obras) no se había reservado un final tan poco glorioso para el personaje central. ( )
