Police were told the group consisted of 25 people, but later concluded only 23 had taken part.
An extensive search for missing persons that began on Sunday and continued on Monday was therefore called off.
The incident took place on Breidamerkurjokull in southern Iceland, part of Western Europe’s largest glacier Vatnajokul.
