Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage - Alfred Lansing

Out of all the survival stories I have read so far, this is probably the best.

 

It´s such a grippin story, in which Lansing recounts the incredible feats of the crew while not sparing the reader the gruesome details of surviving in the most inhospitable environment imaginable. And more often than not I though it can´t get any worse for these people and then it turns out I was completely wrong. 

 

Such a great book. Highly recommended.
