Summary: "The Fur Country: Or, Seventy Degrees North Latitude" by Jules Verne is a novel written during the late 19th century that delves into the exploration and adventure in the Arctic regions. The story centers around Lieutenant Jaspar Hobson and his team as they embark on a perilous journey to establish a new fort in the fur-rich territories north of the Hudson Bay. The narrative immerses readers into the harsh realities of Arctic exploration, highlighting the struggles against unforgiving weather and the challenges of survival in a landscape scattered with wildlife yet fraught with danger.
