Two tourists sent an emergency signal last night at Vatnajöull glacier. They were caught in an avalanche on Grímsfjall and SAR teams conducted an extensive search. They were found at 3 am last night.
The men had dug themselves into the snow for warmth and shelter but when they were found they were starting to suffer from hypothermia.
