Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage

Take my review with a large dose of salt, because if you like exploration stories, I have nothing useful for you. I generally find them boring. I know this could have been LESS boring, because the epilogue was very concise! A boat got sent out to rescue the party from Elephant Island, and the author didn't include directions every time the wind blew! Or describe every chunk of ice the boat had to pass!

This book was quite repetitive, though I know the actual surviving of this journey was ridiculously repetitive and I'll give Lansing the benefit of the doubt, because #mood. Also I am very glad I am not in Antarctica, because lying down and dying Jack London-style would have been preferable to having my toes removed or being soaking wet for like two years straight. But, it is indeed amazing that everyone survived, and how strong the instinct and will to survive is.
