    Arctic exploration gone wrong is fascinating to me, but I’d also be intrigued by a jungle adventure mishap or something along those lines.

    Basically, I want true stories about people that are stuck in a deadly environment and have to survive until they’re rescued or make it back to civilization.

    **I’d also prefer it not be something super recent. 1800s and earlier would be ideal, but early 1900s could be fine.**

    Examples that I’ve read:

    * Endurance – Alfred Lansing

    * The Indifferent Stars Above – Daniel James Brown

    * In the Kingdom of Ice – Hampton Sides (I actually disliked this book somewhat, but it definitely fits)

    Books already on my list:

    * The Wager – David Grann

    * The River of Doubt – Candice Millard

    I’m not interested in general exploration, like The Lost City of Z (which I didn’t find very good anyway).

    And I know it’s fiction, but I also know people will recommend it anyway. The Terror is my favorite book. I have read The Martian and Project Hail Mary. Just need non-fiction, please.

    EDIT – bolded the time part of the request…
