Ethan Guo, a 19-year-old American influencer and pilot, has been stranded in Chilean-controlled Antarctica since June after landing a small plane without permission. Guo's flight was intended as a fundraising mission to raise $1 million for childhood cancer research through St. Jude, and he aimed to become the youngest person to fly solo to all seven continents. Chilean authorities detained Guo after determining that he provided false information in his flight plan and landed illegally at a base in territory claimed by Chile. Although charges against Guo were eventually dropped following an agreement that included a donation, he remains unable to leave Antarctica due to restrictions imposed by local authorities. The incident has drawn international attention as Guo continues to be held in the remote Antarctic region.
