Voyages Extraordinaires
"The Conquest of the Pole" was released by Pathé on 3 May 1912. The film was advertised as a "voyage extraordinaire en 34 tableaux", and announcements and reports about it frequently suggested a connection to Verne's "Voyages Extraordinaires" series; for example, Pathé's weekly bulletin promoted the film by saying that "There isn't one of [Méliès's] works that hasn't achieved the success, the vogue, and the popularity of a Jules Verne novel."
