US Influencer Pilot Released from Chile's Antarctic Base With 3-Year Ban
Ethan Guo faced legal action for unauthorized Antarctic landing and false flight plans, now must pay $30,000 to charity and is banned from Chile for three years.
- On Saturday, Ethan Guo was released after two months at a Chilean Antarctic military base and returned to Punta Arenas, Chile, following his June 28 landing in Chile's Antarctic territory.
- Prosecutors contend Ethan Guo provided false flight data and exceeded his authorization over Punta Arenas by flying to Antarctica, while Jaime Barrientos, Guo's lawyer, says he diverted due to weather and had permission.
- Guo spent two months at the Antarctic base with limited communications and below-zero temperatures, beginning fundraising at 19 to become youngest to fly solo to all seven continents.
- A judge released Guo on conditions that he pay $30,000 in penalties, donate raised funds to a childhood cancer foundation within 30 days, and face a three-year Chilean entry ban.
- Arriving in Punta Arenas aboard a navy ship, Guo wore a Chilean national soccer team jersey and described his detention as `mundane` with `limited freedoms`, praising Chilean hospitality and language lessons.
