US pilot Ethan Guo donates $30,000 to children’s foundation after Antarctica plane landing

Ethan Guo was detained over two months after unauthorized Antarctica landing; he donated $30,000 to a children's cancer foundation to avoid trial and received a three-year Chile entry ban.

  • On June 29, Guo faced allegations for submitting inaccurate flight plan information and landing without permission, although he maintained his innocence.
  • After being stuck for over 60 days at the isolated base due to limited flight options, Guo departed Antarctica recently on a Chilean naval vessel and arrived in Punta Arenas on Saturday.
  • Under an agreement approved by a judge in August, Guo made a $30,000 donation to a children's cancer foundation to close the case and was prohibited from reentering Chile for three years.
  • Guo stated in Santiago that the experience was challenging but educational, and he remains committed to his ongoing cancer research fundraising mission.
