1898^ⓘ"First published in English, London: Sampson Low, Marston & Co., 1898" according to OCLC Record #224653212. Translated by Mrs. Cashel Hoey This translation begins: No doubt the following narrative will be received with entire incredulity, but I think it well that the public should be put in possession of the facts narrated in "An Antarctic Mystery." The public is free to believe them or not, at its good pleasure. No more appropriate scene for the wonderful and terrible adventures which I am about to relate could be imagined than the Desolation Islands, so called, in 1779, by Captain Cook.	English	An Antarctic Mystery
1911^ⓘTranslated by Cashel Hoey and edited and abridged - presumably by Vincent Parke. This translation begins: "No doubt the following narrative will be received with entire incredulity, but I think it well that the public should be put in possession of the facts narrated in "An Antarctic Mystery." The public is free to believe them or not, at its good pleasure. I am a Connecticut naturalist possessed of a small independent fortune. In the year 1839 I was engaged in research work among the islands of the far southern ocean."	English	The Sphinx of the Ice or An Antarctic Mystery
1958^ⓘTranslated by Franjo Tučan. This translation begins: "Pripovijest koju sam nazvao "Ledena sfinga", ne će po svojoj prilici nitko smatrati istinitom. Ipak mislim da je valja objaviti bez obzira na to, hoće li joj tko povjerovati ili ne. Za ove bi čudesne i strašne pustolovine teško bilo naći prikladniju polaznu točku od Obale pustoši."	Croatian	Ledena Sfinga
1958^ⓘTranslated by Claudia Fischer and Vasile Chiriţă	Romanian	Sfinxul ghețarilor^?Sfinxul ghetarilor
1961^ⓘTranslated by unknown and edited by Basil Ashmore. This translation begins: "The archipelago which lies at 49°45′ south and 69°6′ east is properly called the Kerguelen Islands, having been discovered by the French explorer of that name in 1772. I assert, however, that the name Desolation Islands, given them in 1779 by Captain Cook, is the only suitable name for this group of islets in the midst of the vast storm-swept Southern Seas."	English	The Sphinx of the Ice-Fields
1984	German	Die Eissphinx: Band 1
1984	German	Die Eissphinx: Band 2
2012^ⓘTranslated by Frederick Paul Walter. This translation begins: "Probably nobody's going to put much stock in this yarn entitled The Sphinx of the Ice Realm. Never mind. I still feel it's worth airing in the public. Readers are free to take it or leave it. It would be hard to imagine a more appropriate locale for the start of these wonderful yet dreadful adventures than Desolation Isles - a name given them in 1779 by Captain Cook."	English	The Sphinx of the Ice Realm
2020^ⓘTranslated by an unknown hand	English	An Antarctic Mystery
