Iceland: the plane has not surfaced; no bodies have been recovered yet. (representative)
Authorities in Iceland found a small plane at the bottom of a lake two days after the plane went missing with three tourists and a pilot on board, police said on Saturday.
The three tourists on the Cessna 172N plane – which left for a sightseeing tour on Thursday – were from Belgium, the Netherlands and the United States, the Icelandic newspaper Morgunbladid reports.
The Icelandic Coast Guard said in a statement that the plane crashed into Lake Thingvallavatn, about 40 km (25 miles) east of the capital, Reykjavik, and was located using an unmanned submarine.
The plane has not been towed to the surface and no bodies have been recovered yet.
The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs told Reuters news agency that it had been informed by the airline that a 27-year-old Dutch man living in Belgium was on the plane when it disappeared.
Coast Guard officials were unable to immediately confirm the nationalities of the two other missing passengers.
