How did Nansen plan to get home from the Fram expedition?

From the Wikipedia page on Svalbard, the area was being used as a base for arctic exploration, so quite possibly he was hoping to run into another expedition that could evacuate him. Given that he walked across the ice-pack for a year it may not be as crazy as it sounds, though if he hadn't run into Jackson he would have had to wait until 1897.
