Well, Kim Stanley Robinson's Antarctica (1997) obviously fits the bill -- Amazon link
I'll have to think of some others....
EDIT: another book to consider: James Blish's The Frozen Year (1957). Have not read it yet and I doubt it's that great but it's about Julian Cole, an official historian on an Arctic expedition... And of course some crazy things happen 50s style.
You might want to check out Antarctica. It's a hard SF novel dealing with living sustainably on and, to an extent, colonizing Antarctica. It also features breathtaking and extensive descriptions of the geology and geography of the continent. If you're interested in the place, you'll love it.
Possibly the Western Sahara. It's claimed by Morocco but has an official status of a "disputed zone" with the Polisario Front.
And since you probably won't leave civilization, I would have two suggestions that you might enjoy.

KSR's Antarctica sounds like it borrowed from this guy.
