Don't forget the classic of the genre, Alfred Lansing's "Endurance:
Shackleton's Incredible Voyage".  You might also want to read Roland
Huntford's "Shackelton".  Huntford was the author of "Amundsen and
Scott", which thoroughly discredited Scott (while elevating Amundsen).
I am puzzled by the view--held by many Brits--that Shackelton was not
the equal of Scott.  It seems to me that Shackelton was in a completely
different league.
