I have to correct myself a little from earlier, the name of Eyjafjöll, island mountains comes directly from the string of island due south of them, the Vestmann Island (that had a volcano erupt practically in the midst of a town of around 5000 souls at the date of 23.01.1973, thankfully no one died directly, though fumes killed one that did not heed the warnings of the civil defence authorities).

NOW would be good time to check this webcam, the skies are clearing (the one with view from the town of Hvolsvöllur):

And then finally, how to pronounce this beautiful name:

Like one of the comment succests, maybe they should try these words:

Hæstaréttarmálaflutningsmaður

Kirkjubæjarklaustur

Yeah, even though I do not speak Icelandic, it is funny to hear others try to pronounce Icelandic words that I do know how to say.

Thank you for the laugh, Leifur. :)
