A group of tourists called the South Iceland police shortly before 1 am last night as they had become lost near the famous plane wreck on Sólheimasandur. They had walked to the wreck and couldn't find their car again. 

According to police, search and rescue parties were called out to assist the people but once they were in the area they couldn't reach them on the phone. 

Everything points to the fact that they ended up finding their car as the car was nowhere to be seen either.
