It's funny you are having such a hard time looking for "Sphinx of
the Ice Fields,", since this book was the first one I bought when
I "re-discovered" Jules Verne two years ago. It's easily
abailable here in Argentina and quite cheap, but, of course, in
spanish. It's hard cover and with a short note explaining the
relation with Poe's book. Contains no ilustrations but it's the
complete version.

It's edited by "Edicomunicación SA" (Madrid, Spain)
(www.edicomunicacion.com) and it belongs to the colection "Obras
inmortales de la literatura universal"

I really loved and enjoyed this book, good luck with your work
