A group of tourists spent hours Saturday night looking for a missing woman near Iceland's Eldgja canyon, only to find her among the search party.
The group was travelling through Iceland on a tour bus and stopped near the volcanic canyon in the southern highlands Saturday afternoon, reports the Icelandic news organization mbl.is.
One of the women on the bus left to change her clothes and freshen up. When she came back, her busmates didn't recognize her.
Soon, there was word of a missing passenger. The woman didn't recognize the description of herself, and joined in the search.
About 50 people searched the terrain by vehicles and on foot. The coast guard was even readying a helicopter to help.
But the search was called off at about 3 a.m., when it became clear the missing woman was, in fact, accounted for and searching for herself.

It’s a fair-sized island, if you include the uninhabited areas, but it’s total population is that of a medium-large city, 310 thousand.

She must have been really dirty.

A group of tourists spent hours Saturday night looking for a missing woman near Iceland's Eldgja canyon, only to find her among the search party. This reminds me of an incident that happened on a recent family vacation in Fiji. On one of our tours, the tour guides were waiting on a couple who had gotten lost on the way to the ferry boat. They kept making phone calls; all they could find out was that the couple had come from a certain resort and gotten lost. Finally, a couple sitting near us heard the name of the resort, and realized that they were the missing couple.
"I'm glad you finally made it!" another tourist told them.

I’m trying hard to wrap my mind around this story but having trouble doing it....are people really that stupid?
Why didn’t someone with a functioning brain just do a headcount ???
