Consider Endurance by Alfred Lansing. Recommended by 25 sources.
“This reconstruction of Shackleton's doomed Antarctic expedition reads like a real-time logbook, immersing you in the men's daily struggle against ice, starvation, and despair.

If you want to know what they did, not necessarily how they felt inside, this delivers.”
