• Ethan Guo returned to Punta Arenas by Chilean Navy vessel two months after his June 28 landing on King George Island.
• A judge set conditions requiring him to donate the funds he raised to a childhood cancer charity within 30 days and to depart Chile promptly.
• Prosecutors allege he submitted false flight‑plan data and was authorized only to fly over Punta Arenas; his lawyer says weather forced a diversion and that he had permission.
• The 20-year-old was attempting a seven-continent solo flight to raise up to $1 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
• He spent the Antarctic winter at the Teniente R. Marsh base with limited communications and subzero temperatures, and some outlets reported the charges were dropped under the agreement.
