The story takes place in the near future, where the world is dominated by science and technology. A group of scientists and gunsmiths, led by Michel Ardan, decide to move the Earth on its axis by firing a cannon so gigantic that the tilt of the globe will vary enough to expose the Arctic ice floes to the sun. The idea is to be able to exploit the coal mines which are supposed to be present in the subsoil of the North Pole. The project is ambitious and risky, but Ardan is convinced that it is feasible.
