Teen pilot Ethan Guo’s daring quest to fly solo to all seven continents for cancer research took a dramatic turn when he was arrested in Antarctica. The 19-year-old, who’s on a mission to raise $1 million, allegedly changed his flight plan mid-air without informing air traffic control triggering a security scramble. Chilean authorities slammed the stunt as an “unauthorised operation,” accusing him of violating Antarctic aviation protocols. Guo, who began flying at 13 and has over 700 flight hours, now faces scrutiny despite his noble goal to honour his cancer-stricken cousin.
