Arctic Explorations: The Second Grinnell Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin, 1853, 54, 55 by Elisha Kent Kane
A riveting account of Kane's expedition attempting to find the lost Franklin crew in the Arctic. A few plodding moments, but that's really only to be expected in a book covering such a long voyage.
