Endurance — Shackleton's Incredible Voyage

Why it’s on the list: Twenty-eight men, a ship crushed in the Weddell Sea ice, and an 800-mile open-boat crossing to South Georgia — the canonical account of Shackleton’s 1914 expedition, reconstructed from the crew’s diaries.

Where I saw it: A reply to @moseskagan’s question on X, April 13, 2025 — “What historical fiction should I read next?” — recovered from that thread and saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Books To Read”. Thread: https://x.com/moseskagan/status/1911280597928231261

Non-fiction, despite arriving in a historical-fiction thread.
