Summary "The Field of Ice" by Jules Verne is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the ambitious captain Hatteras, who sets out on a perilous expedition to reach the North Pole. As the narrative unfolds, Hatteras and his loyal companions grapple with the harsh realities of their icy surroundings, facing treachery from within their ranks and the severe challenges posed by the Arctic wilderness. At the start of the tale, the crew of Hatteras's ship, the "Forward", finds themselves in a dire predicament after a catastrophic event leaves them stranded in the frozen North, isolated and without means of returning home. The opening pages depict Hatteras's resilience as he attempts to maintain hope among his crew amidst despair brought on by mutiny and the loss of their vessel. As the reader is introduced to characters like the Doctor and Johnson, we witness their strategic efforts to survive in this inhospitable environment while contemplating the precariousness of their situation and the complex dynamics of leadership and companionship in the face of adversity.
