Pretty soon Iceland will have taken over the world. The island grows whenever there is an eruption, and since Iceland is that island Iceland is destined to grow eternally :p

question: do you pronounce the Js in Eyjafjallajokull like Hs or Js, or what?
Icelandic is so hard to pronounce xD I'm proud that it's my native languge ;) Yay

Anyway, you know how you pronounce "yes"? It's got that "y" sound to it. So it's ey(yah)f(yah *y* sound)alla(yah *y* sound)ökull

The "ö" is pronounced like you say "butt", it's the type of *u* from that word, so it's kind of freaky.

Anyway, that's the rough pronouncing of the glacier xD It's hard, I know! :D

EDIT: fuckwit did a better job xþ

Iceland always seem to be behind bad things for Britain. They must be evil. Obviously it's only a matter of time before they take over our cheese industry or something equally diabolical. First they lose our pensions we stupidly invested in them, leaving our old folk out of pocket, then they let one of their volcanos down our aircraft for a little while.

I'm telling you, they will take the cheese industry next, you mark my words.

I'm so glad my native language is Dutch, it's said that the Dutch can pronounce just about any language, because our's is so simple (pronounciation, not grammar. Our grammar is horrible).

OT: Look at that beauty smokin'... So pretty.... *drool*
I love vulcanoes.

First they declare themselves bankrupt, now their island's on fire. Insurance fraud?

It could erupt for months. I think it erupted last time for a year and a half?

Historically, when this volcano erupts, the much-larger-and-much-more-explosive volcano next door is triggered into an eruption. I believe its called the icelandic two step. So, if I were European, I'd be careful with making time sensitive travel arrangements.
