Bardarbunga erupted. @-@

[TamerVirus]

Bardarbunga erupted. @-@

At this time regular people can actually say the name of the volcano

Unlike Eljafarchallajethrotull or whatever it was

[Descan]

"Bar thur bun ga" I think...

[Boksi]

Bįršarbunga.

A rough pronunciation guide:
Bį = bow
r = r
š = 'th' in the
ar = ar
bu = boo
n = n
ga = ga

Let's hope Eyjafjallajökull II: Volcanic Boogaloo is less damaging than the original.

[Fniff]

It's been a shit year for people who like flying in planes.

[Descan]

Well it's the biggest one in Iceland apparently. New Ice Age anyone?

[Fniff]

It would solve global warming, anyway!

Definitely would accelerate climate change, though.

[Boksi]

Oh wait, I forgot Grķmsvötn. So this isn't Eyjafjallajökull II, it's III.

[hops]

Iä Iä Eyjafjallajökull f'taghn?

[Orange Wizard]

Volcanoluthu is not someone I want to see right now, Objective.

[Elephant Parade]

I liked Brian Blessed's attempt to pronounce that other volcano's name.

EFEYAYAJOKUUL!

It's "ee-jaff-jal-eh-joo-kull", if I remember correctly. The pronunciation is on Wikipedia.

Edit: Nope, it's completely different. Huh.

[hops]

I wonder how many times people have accidentally summoned an Outer God by trying to pronounce the names of Icelandic mountains.

[TD1]

Hi, sigtext.

[Tawa]

Dammit.

Ah, my sig is big enough anyway.

Kinda like this?
