After exploring parts of the [[South Shetland Islands]] the expedition continued through the [[Antarctic Sound]] towards the [[Antarctic Peninsula]]. On January 15, 1902 [[Hope Bay]] was discovered. In February Nordenskjöld chose [[Snow Hill Island]] as winter camp for part of the expedition. After all preparations were completed ''Antarctic'' left for the [[Falkland Islands]].

After the winter the ship left the Falklands on November 5 heading back to the Antarctic Peninsula by way of [[Ushuaia]] for supplies. On December 29 ''Antarctic'' was trapped in pack ice near Hope Bay, and some of the crew was put ashore.<ref name=X/>

''Antarctic'' later broke free and continued towards [[Paulet Island]]; on the way the ship once again was trapped in pack ice on January 3, 1903. On February 3 the ship again broke free but was now damaged and leaking. Captain Larsen now intended to beach ''Antarctic'' on Paulet Island, but the ship was too damaged and sank about {{convert|40|km|mi|abbr=on}} off the coast on February 12, 1903.<ref name=T/><ref name=X/><ref name=V/><ref name=W>{{cite web|url=http://www.chalmers.se/HyperText/ChalmersMagasin/nr2_2003/Bodman.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2010-12-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717192230/http://www.chalmers.se/HyperText/ChalmersMagasin/nr2_2003/Bodman.pdf |archive-date=2011-07-17 }}, Chalmers Magazine, Chalmers University of Technology (in Swedish), accessdate=2010-12-10</ref>

In November all crewmembers (including [[Carl Skottsberg]], [[Johan Gunnar Andersson]], [[José María Sobral]] and [[Frank Wilbert Stokes]]) were rescued by the Argentine [[corvette]] [[ARA Uruguay|''Uruguay'']] captained by [[Julián Irízar]].
