The Indiana Jones films are among the popular of all time. In Adventure!
Exotic Tales of Exploration, Danger, and Discovery, editor John Richard Stephens (Weird History 101, Captured by Pirates) collects a wide variety of adventurous tales -- many of them true -- which are reminiscent of, and often even directly inspired, many of the films' thrilling scenes.
All the selections here are set in exotic, faraway locations ranging from the jungles of the Amazon to the deserts of China and are often written in an intimate and thrilling first person style. The stories, written by real-life explorers as well as classic authors like Rudyard Kipling, are filled with ancient tombs, gigantic spiders, shrunken heads, witch doctors, desert caravans, deadly quicksand, vampire bats, and lots of very large snakes. This is the perfect book for anyone who loves excitement and adventure!

reviewed Adventure! on June 13, 2009 Adventure!
Ok, while not strictly an arctic book, this story that traces three expeditions to the interior of Labrador in 1903 and 1905 had a lot of the same tropes - inexperience, mistakes, starvation. This book drew heavily on diaries of several participants, contemporary newspaper clippings, and other research to document the whole fascinating story. There's the interplay of racial politics at the time, a woman trekking over rough ground and unknown country with mixed-race male guides (scandal!), a possible love story, oh, and people going through stuff that was not mapped. Highly, highly recommended.
