Ethan Guo, a 19-year-old American influencer and teen pilot, is now free to leave Antarctica after authorities dropped charges against him for allegedly landing illegally on King George Island, a spot claimed by Chile. Guo, aspiring to be the youngest person to fly solo to all seven continents while raising funds for children's cancer research, faced accusations of submitting a false flight plan. After spending six weeks at a military base, he received the green light from a judge to depart, albeit with a hefty $30,000 donation to a cancer foundation and a three-year ban from re-entering Chile.
"I remain in Antarctica awaiting approval for my departure flight," Guo shared following the ruling. Initially aiming to raise $1 million for St Jude Children's Research Hospital after a family member's cancer diagnosis, he has already spent 140 days in the air on his journey across the globe. Despite the challenges, Guo's passion for aviation and philanthropy continues to soar!
