The Ice Sphinx: He Searched for His Brother

A brief summary of the story The Secrets of the Antarctic: The Sphinx of the Ice by Jules Verne. When a frozen body clutching a letter drifts into the pack ice, the Halbrane turns south. The trail leads through the abandoned village of Klock-Klock, the terror-word TEKELI-LI, and a night mutiny — all the way to the foot of the Sphinx itself, where the crew finds the grave of Arthur Pym and one living brother. As the mountain wakes, the last witness, Dirk Peters, stays behind for a vigil forty years in the making. Some debts can only be paid in stillness. Powered by: OiiOii Ai
