the worst journey in the world by apsley cherry-garrard. he went to Antarctica with Robert falcon Scott.
most of it is about a brutal side-expedition he undertook to retrieve penguin’s eggs for some Royal society. but I think he was on the main trek to the pole too, up until Scott sent him back. it seems he never fully recovered from the experience, psychologically.
