Suggest me a historical nonfiction adventure/exploration book where most/all people involved survived to tell the story

Two of my favorite books of all time are Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose and Endurance by Alfred Lansing. I really enjoy stories from the 19th century until WWII, but I'm not particularly interested in war stories. I enjoy polar exploration, US westward expansion, wilderness exploration, shipwrecks, etc.
