An Antarctic Mystery (also known as The Sphinx of the Ice Fields) is an adventure novel by Jules Verne, published in 1897 as a sequel to Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. The story follows wealthy American Jeorling, who joins the crew of the Halbrane, captained by Len Guy, on a perilous voyage to the Antarctic. Their mission is to uncover the fate of the Jane, a ship lost years earlier, and to find survivors, including Captain Guy's brother. Braving treacherous icebergs and hostile conditions, the explorers reach the mysterious island of Tsalal, where they confront shocking secrets, betrayal, and the enigmatic "Sphinx of the Ice," blending adventure, suspense, and science fiction.
