About This Book

A young inventor unveils a new airship and, backed by a scientific society, undertakes a zone-to-zone polar voyage that alternates demonstrations of mechanical skill with episodic perils. The airship rescues an icebound ship, navigates storms, and explores uncanny features such as a hollow mountain; the party confronts polar bears and other dangers, pursues exiles and fugitives, frees a stranded albatross, and reaches the North Pole. The tale foregrounds adventurous set pieces, imaginative technology, and continuous mobility between science, rescue missions, and exotic encounters.
