Who Is Ethan Guo? The 19-Year-Old US Influencer Pilot Stranded In Antarctica
A 19-year-old influencer has been stuck in Antarctica since June after landing his small plane without permission in Chilean territory. According to the Independent, Ethan Guo was on a mission to fly solo to all seven continents to raise $1 million for cancer research when his journey hit a roadblock. Officials claim he provided false flight plan information, leading to an investigation and charges of landing without permission. Chilean prosecutor Cristian Cristoso also said that Guo violated "multiple national and international" rules governing access to Antarctica and the routes used to travel there. His legal team argues that he faced unexpected complications mid-air, while prosecutors claim he knowingly submitted a bogus flight plan. Since being charged, he has been staying at a military base on the island. Although he wasn't required to stay at the base specifically, he was obligated to remain in Chilean territory. Due to the severe winter weather in the Southern Hemisphere, no flights were available for him to depart, leaving him stuck at the base for over six weeks. On August 11, a judge dropped the charges after Mr Guo agreed to donate $30,000 to a children's cancer foundation within 30 days. He remains in Antarctica awaiting weather clearance to continue his mission. The influencer has also been ordered to pay all costs associated with his aircraft security and personal maintenance during his stay at the military facility. Additionally, he'll need to cover all expenses for his return journey. Once conditions permit, he is required to leave Chile and is prohibited from reentering Chilean territory for three years.
