A judge in Chile has agreed to suspend proceedings against a teenage American pilot and social media influencer who has been stuck on a remote Antarctic island since late June after he was accused of landing there without permission.

SANTIAGO, Chile -- What was intended as a fundraising mission for cancer research has become a nightmare for American teen influencer Ethan Guo, who has been stuck since June in a remote location in Chilean territory in Antarctica.

Guo's attorney said the pilot received "explicit, direct permission" to land at a Chilean base. But upon landing, Guo was arrested and charged with providing false flight information, according to Chilean officials, who said he did not have a permit and "violated international regulations regarding the Antarctica continent."
