"A Strange Discovery" by Charles Romyn Dake is a novel published in 1899 that serves as a sequel to Edgar Allan Poe's unfinished "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket." An English narrator encounters Dirk Peters, the sole surviving companion from Poe's tale, forty-nine years after their original Antarctic voyage. On his deathbed, Peters reveals the missing conclusion: a warm polar civilization of Roman descendants, tragic romance, and heroic rescue amid volcanic peaks and mysterious white figures at the edge of the world.
