This is an old request, but I want to chime in with a couple of sensational books:
Endurance by Alfred Lansing, narrated by Simon Prebble. About the amazing Shackleton voyage to the South Pole.
The Worst Journey in the World by Apsley Cherry-Garrard, narrated by Simon Vance. One of the survivors of the last Scott expedition -- and, tellingly, the part of the expedition that Scott participated in is NOT the part that earned the name used as the book's title (the WORST journey was a side trip by Apsley and another scientist to collect penguin eggs!).
Both books are outstanding!
