It's nonfiction. I was impressed with the consistently great reviews. This was an ebook deal at one time (don't remember the price) but I didn't pick it up because my library has it.

I can vouch for Endurance. I listened to it as an audiobook, and it was fascinating. I'd highly recommend it.
On a similar note, "Alone" by Admiral Richard E. Byrd also is an interesting read. The author's isolation was self-imposed and wasn't complete isolation as his support crew was a hundred miles or so away, but he endured the incredible cold of the South Pole along with technical malfunctions, psychological problems, etc.
Enjoy!
