Authorities in Iceland have officially called off the search for missing individuals at a collapsed ice cave. Initial concerns about two missing persons were dismissed after tour records confirmed that all 23 participants had been accounted for.

Police began the search after receiving incorrect information that 25 people had been on the tour. One individual tragically lost their life, and another was seriously injured when the ice cave collapsed around 3 PM on Sunday.

“A moment ago, the police field manager located at the scene announced that all the ice that was thought to have fallen on the people had been moved,” police said. “It has come to light that no one was hidden under the ice.''
