A "missing" woman on vacation in Iceland managed to join a search party looking for HERSELF!

According to the Toronto Sun, a group of tourists spent hours on Saturday night looking for a missing female near Iceland's Eldgja canyon, only to find out she was actually among the search party.

The group were travelling through Iceland on a bus tour and stopped near the volcanic canyon in the southern highlands.

One of the women on the bus left the group to "change her clothes and freshen up" but when she came back her bus mates did not recognise her.

Word quickly spread of a missing passenger and amazingly the woman did not recognise her OWN description and happily joined in the search.

Nearly 50 people searched the terrain in vehicles and on foot with the coastguard even preparing to send in a HELICOPTER to aid the emergency mission.

However the search was called off at around 3am on Sunday when it became obvious the "missing" woman was accounted for and had in fact been searching for herself.
