For the nonfiction military story readers I just finished Frozen in Time by Mitchell Zukoff (or Zuckoff). This is actually two stories - first about an airplane crash in Greenland in 1942 and the resulting efforts to rescue the five people on that plane that resulted in more crashes, more deaths and very long times spent on the frozen ice of Greenland just trying to survive. Interwoven with the main story is the story of the various expeditions to Greenland since 2010 to try and bring back the remains of some of the rescuers lost to the weather. Extremely well written by the author who was actually on two of the expeditions to recover remains. Greenland does not give up its dead very easy and adds more cover to them every year. YouTube has some info on this too.
In another story on YouTube a P-38 aircraft was removed from the ice in Greenland in the 90s (and restored to flying status). That plane was well over 250 feet below the surface - ice that had collected in the years since it crashed in 1942 as part of The Lost Squadron (6 P-38s and 2 B-17s).
BookBub has been a great source of very inexpensive books for me. Get a listing daily and have bought several. Nothing was over $2.99 but all of mine were on Kindle.
