19-year-old American blogger and solo traveler Ethan Guo was flying with the aim of circumnavigating the world's seven continents. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
His journey encountered problems due to his unauthorized landing in Antarctica, and he was detained by the Chilean government. This was reported by Kursiv Media.
According to the Chilean prosecutor's office, Guo changed his flight path without prior notice and landed at the Rodolfo Marsh scientific base in the Antarctic region claimed by Chile without permission. This action was assessed as a violation of international aviation and national security regulations.
Guo flew from Punta Arenas and reached this area in Antarctica in a short period of time. He is currently being held in the Chilean sector of Antarctica.
The court has decided not to allow him to leave the country until the investigation is completed. The blogger referred to his actions as a "test flight," stating that it was only a preparatory stage.
This incident has once again sparked discussions about the safety of international air travel. It remains unclear how Guo's journey will end and what punishment he may face.
