I've been reading like Hampton Sides into the Kingdom of Ice is such a good book about this polar expedition.
Why people recommend it
Hampton Sides' The Kingdom of Ice is a gripping historical account that chronicles the ill-fated USS Jeanette polar expedition and the extraordinary physical endurance required of its crew. On The Megyn Kelly Show, Jason Redman recommended the book twice, explaining that he read it to study extreme historical endurance and to remind himself that people must embrace difficult challenges to build true grit and resilience. John Lisle also discussed the book on Modern Wisdom, praising it as a remarkably well-written account of a historic polar expedition during a conversation about his own reading habits and historical research interests. Readers are drawn to this harrowing tale of survival against freezing odds because it vividly illustrates the outer limits of human courage, leadership, and the relentless drive to explore uncharted territories despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles and catastrophic environmental failures.
