Hello! I am currently reading through the first two Elisha Kane books covering the first two US Grinnell expeditions in search of the lost John Franklin party. I am interested in learning more about the age of polar and Arctic exploration after this book. I know Shackleton's books are considered a must but I'm curious what other books would be recommended and are there any good overall "primers" on the age of polar exploration? I love primary sources such as these Kane books and Shackleton, but there must be some recommendations which encompass the culture and almost "fad" if you will of the polar explorers and main stream cultures seeming bug interest from the mid 19th century to the early 20th. I was unable to find any books listed in the reading recommendations on the sidebar.

Thanks!
