He returned to France bitterly disappointed. Several other expeditions after Bouvet's also failed to land, and it wasn't until well into the next century before a human being actually stood on the island—an American, Benjamin Morrel, became the first in 1822. Three years later, an English captain landed on the island and renamed it Liverpool. But on December 1, 1929, a Norwegian expedition claimed the island for once and for all, and changed the name back to Bouvet.
