The terror
Dan Simmons

The Terror is based on the historical accounts of the Franklin Expedition, the doomed British voyage to the Artic. In 1845, the two ships HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, under the command of Sir John Franklin, attempt to locate the Northwest Passage. Their ships become icebound and they slowly run out of supplies and coal to enable their survival. Though it is unknown about the causes of death, all men including Franklin perished of both natural and unnatural causes. Though most of the discovered bodies showed evidence of death by scurvy, lead poisoning (from contaminated canned food), starvation and cold, there was some strong evidence that also pointed to cannibalism.
