Or “Alone on the Ice” which takes many accounts of Mawson’s trip. These adventures are the most incredible stories I’ve ever read and, with some expedition experience myself, I sometimes just shudder thinking about how difficult it must’ve been.

If you like that kind of thing I can recommend "Barrow's Boys: The Original Extreme Adventurers: A Stirring Story of Daring Fortitude and Outright Lunacy" by Fergus Fleming - it largely covers 19th century expeditions UK to try and find the Northwest Passage and to rescue previous expeditions.
