The novel is based on Salomon August Andr{\'e}e (1854-1897) [the accent is not used in the novel], the leader of an actual attempt to reach the North Pole by balloon in 1897. The balloonists disappeared, which is how the novel ends, and the remains were only discovered in 1930. In the novel, which is mostly adventure and intrigue, the balloonists reach Polaria, a technologically advanced eutopia located in a huge (500,000 square miles) basin that exists at the North Pole\ and disappear on their return flight.
