The Fur Country
by Jules Verne (1828-1905)
Translated by Nancy Bell (1844-1933)
A French version is available / Une version française est disponible : Le pays des fourrures.
In 1859, officers of the Hudson’s Bay Company are given the mission to found a fort at 70 degrees north of the polar circle. At some point, an earthquake occurs, and from then on, laws of physics seem altered (a total eclipse happens to be only partial; tides are not perceived anymore). They eventually realise that they are not where they are supposed to be. (Summary from wikipedia)
