The story was first printed in April–May 1855 in the magazine "Musée des familles". It was later reprinted by Pierre-Jules Hetzel in the collection "Doctor Ox" (1874), as part of the "Voyages Extraordinaires" series. Three English translations ("A Winter amid the Ice" by George Makepeace Towle, "A Winter Among the Ice-Fields" by Abby L. Alger, and "A Winter's Sojourn in the Ice" by Stephen William White) were published in 1874.
