Summary:Jules Verne never hid his preference for cold countries. The Extraordinary Voyages often take us northward (Scotland, Scandinavia, Canada) and even as far as the poles, at the time when they remained unexplored. The aim of this article is to examine how the well-known author looked at the hyperborean regions. RésuméJules Verne n’a jamais caché sa prédilection pour les pays froids. Les Voyages extraordinaires nous entraînent souvent vers le Nord (Écosse, Scandinavie, Canada) et même jusqu’aux pôles, à une époque où ils demeuraient inviolés. Cet article a pour but d’examiner la vision qu’avait le célèbre romancier des régions hyperboréennes.
