Alfred Lansing: Endurance (Paperback, 1984, Grafton Books)

Bound for Antarctica, where polar explorer Ernest Shackleton planned to cross on foot the last uncharted continent, the Endurance set sail from England, in August 1914. The ship became locked inside an island of ice, and was later crushed. This tale of survival by Shackleton and all 27 of his men for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctice seas defined heroism.
Non fiction account of a 1915 attempted crossing of the South Pole. Sounds kinda boring. It was.
