International audience Although the Svalbard archipelago, located between 74° and 81° north latitude, is timelessly part of the northern North, its degree of northerness seems to have been higher in the first half of the nineteenth century than it is today. During this period, in the end of the "Little Ice Age", the main island, Spitsbergen, is considered as "inexplorable " because of its relief, and for the general public in France, the archipelago appears to be "the northernmost land in the northern hemisphere." In the summer of 1839, the French scientific research vessel La Recherche sailed to Svalbard. On board, Léonie D'Aunet and Xavier Marmier, inspired by this unique and shared journey in the archipelago, will later write two travel stories (Voyage d’une femme au Spitzberg (1854) for Léonie d'Aunet and Lettres sur le Nord (1840) for Xavier Marmier) and a novel (Les Fiancés du Spitzberg (1858) by Marmier).
