Baroarbunga is an interesting name for a volcano.
It sounds more like a folk dance or a fancy dessert.
The other volcano starting with an E, is straight up unpronounceable. Try saying that name,three times, really fast!

It belonged to Denmark before WWII, the US occupied it to prevent the Nazis from getting it, and then in 1944, they voted for independence from Denmark.

For those that do not know, Iceland is actually an exposed section of oceanic crust on the Atlantic Ridge. The volcanism is from the sea floor being torn apart along the ridge.

I thought I read that volcanoes do more to put carbon in the atmosphere than all human activity, ever.

I just read the opposite. I left that link so I don’t err in my statements.

Baroarbunga...Eyjafjallajokull ....Vatnajokull

Were those names given so people couldn’t talk about them?

Wait a minute...”Valentin Troll”...troll, maybe that explains it.

Mr. Morpurgo needs to change his first name to Baroarbunga.

Mr. Baroarbunga Morpurgo has a certain virile masculinity about it.

The first one is actually more pronouncable than the other two.

The eruption of Laki on Iceland in 1783-84 caused a severe cooling which led to widespread crop failures and massive famine in Europe, India even widespread food shortages in the U.S.

today would prob be even worse due to huge number of people living in hunger , about 10% of the world.
