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!

My daughter has an Icelandic friend who visited us for a couple weeks one summer. I got her to pronounce it for me - even wrote it out phonetically - but I still couldn't say it.

Well, it’s actually Bárðarbunga pronounced Ba oohr dar bunga.

I have no idea what it means as I can’t relate it to any proto Germanic words I can think of
