Ethan Guo, a 19-year-old American influencer and pilot, was stranded in the Chilean Antarctic for over six weeks after landing a Cessna aircraft without permission in a territory claimed by Chile. Guo had embarked on a solo fundraising mission for cancer research and aimed to become the youngest person to fly solo to all seven continents. Chilean authorities detained him on charges of providing false information on his flight plan and unauthorized landing. After negotiations, Guo reached an agreement involving a donation that led to the suspension of legal proceedings, and the charges against him were subsequently dropped. Despite the resolution, Guo remained stranded in the remote Antarctic location for several weeks during the ordeal.
