The common theme among these books is the exploration of new territories, often in extreme conditions and with great danger. Many of the books focus on individual adventurers or explorers who pushed the boundaries of what was known or possible at the time. The books also highlight the resilience and determination required to survive in harsh environments, as well as the impact that exploration has had on history and culture.
