American social media influencer Ethan Guo, who illegally landed in Antarctica in June, was released from Chilean custody after two months. The 20-year-old, attempting a solo flight to all seven continents, was detained for providing false flight plan data. He was fined $30,000, ordered to donate his fundraising money to a cancer charity, and banned from Chile for three years. Guo claims he diverted due to bad weather and maintains he had authorization, a claim disputed by authorities. He was transported back to Punta Arenas via navy ship and expressed gratitude for the treatment he received.
