On October 16 , 1901 , Nordenskiöld sailed from Göteborg , aboard the ship ''Antarctic'', the same whaler that had carried Henryk Bull . The ''Antarctic'' dropped off Nordenskiöld at Snow Hill Island and returned to the Falkland Islands to overwinter. She was supposed to return the following summer, but was crushed in the ice in the attempt, and her crew, Larsen among them, were forced to overwinter on Paulet Island . The ''Antarctic's'' crew and the Nordenskiöld party finally met at Hope Bay and were rescued by the Argentine ship ''Uruguay'' on November 8 , 1903 . REFERENCES
