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.
