A Loftleidir Douglas C-54 named Geysir was flying from Luxembourg City to New York with a planned stop in Reykjavik when it struck the Vatnajokull glacier in southeast Iceland on 14 September 1950. The crew sent a distress call from a liferaft about two and a half days later, and the wreck was located the same day. All six crew survived and were brought off the glacier about three and a half days after the crash.
