That is definitely a LOL. I wonder if anyone can pronounce the name of that volcano... or spell it out phonically.. They could have called it big pile of ice. Much easier to say......

Try: EYE OFF YALLA YOKUL (Yokull means “volcano,” I guess)

That name twisted my tongue for days. It needs to be Anglicized. I finally settled on this...

Icelandic news story laughing at the pronunciation of the name. There’s a video at the link with the correct pronunciation and humorous media attempts to say it.

I call it the small volcano with the large name. Act two of this play will be when the large volcano with the small name goes off.
