Iceland tourist unwittingly joins search for HERSELF after failing to recognise tour group’s description of 'missing woman'

Asian traveller didn't recognise her own description and went looking for herself

She was declared missing after changing clothes and not being recognised by fellow tourists

A tourist who joined in the search after a member of her bus party went missing was able to help track the woman down - when she realised it was herself they were looking forward.



The woman was declared missing from a party touring the Eldgja volcanic region in south Iceland after getting off the party's bus to freshen up.



She only hopped off the bus breifly, but had also changed her clothes - and her fellow travellers did not recognise her when she climbed back on again to continue the party's journey.

Soon the search began for a woman described as Asian, around 160cm, in dark clothing and speaking English well,



When the details of the missing person were issued, the woman reportedly didn't recognise her own description and unwittingly joined the search party for herself.

After a night-long operation involving around 50 people, the 'missing woman' eventually realised she was the source of the search and informed police.
