Two Chinese nationals in their early 20s have been found dead at the site of a 1973 plane crash in southern Iceland.
Police said the man and the woman were found near the Sólheimasandur crash site, which draws tourists.
A police spokesman told the BBC a post-mortem would take place early next week to establish the causes of death.
Officers had not found any signs of a "criminal act" by a third party, he said, adding that the bodies showed signs of hypothermia.
In 1973, a US military plane crash-landed on the beach at Sólheimasandur. No one was killed.
The fuselage of the plane still rests at the site, and has become a tourist attraction.
According to a police statement (in Icelandic), officers were first called to the scene on Thursday after people found a woman's body off a footpath leading to the crashed plane. Officers found the man's body a short distance away about two hours later.
