Extraordinary Voyages

Fur Country: Or, Seventy Degrees North Latitude

by Jules Verne

An expedition of the Hudson’s Bay Company builds a fort on the Arctic coast, only to discover that the ground beneath it is an ice floe that has broken away and is drifting south. The slow horror of the melting island is superbly done.
