I'd like to know this as well
Scott and Amundsen: Duel in the Ice. Great book.

Great read! I had to read it for a class but I got so into it just to see how they make it out.

The last book I read that was somewhat /out/ related was "Three Cups of Tea". I mean at least he is in the mountains and shit.
Anyway I hate reading and one year at college they gave everybody a copy of this book. It wasn't for a class or anything but I was commuting so I had lots of down time smoking weed in my car in between classes. I actually enjoyed the book. They even had the author come and speak at our school.
A couple years later he was all over the news for stealing a bunch of money from the foundation.
So kids, the moral of the story is: Don't waste your time with books.
"The Worst Journey in the World" by Apsley Cherry-Garrard.

Endurance is great, if you wanna read some historical nautical fiction try "We The Drowned".

Desert Solitaire is GOAT

Pic related. It's in much the same vein as Endurance, but honestly it gets even crazier. Absolutely absurd what these guys went through. There are multiple points where you just have to put the book down and think "Holy shit, people did this willingly and survived to talk about it." Can't recommend it highly enough.
"In the heart of the sea" is a great telling of the Essex adventure/ disaster, especially if you like the Shackleton's story, the survivors of the Essex actually travelled four times the distance of Shackleton's crew. Fuck the new movie, the book is just really well written narrative non fiction.

Seriously, he's basically the daddy who got the park system the recognition that it has.

More like At the Mountains of Madness, the nonfiction edition.
Great survival story, the book tells it well, but goddamn it's bleak. It does a good job of conveying how utterly insignificant humans are in the face of a deadly but indifferent environment. The fact that the expedition survives gives it a hfy! feel in addition to its lovecraftian vibe.
Would recommend.

The co-author (not the guy that built all the scools) ended up killing himself as well.

Growth of the Soil is a masterpiece. it's the perfect combination of /out/ with some /diy/ and a bit of /pol/ in it
