Everyone knows the volcano that erupted in Iceland causing havoc for flights across Europe. The question however is does anyone remember the name of the volcano that erupted. Anyone?
It is Eyjafjallajokull. I don’t even know where to begin. There a barely any vowels and fj all over the place. I’ll be calling it ‘kull’ and you better know what I’m talking about.
Update: I think this sums it up nicely
Update 2: Some further digging around tells me that in the Nordic language, eyja means an island, fjalla means mountains, and jökull means glacier. Eyjafjallajökull = mountains with glaciers on the island.
