Iceland raises Bardarbunga volcano alert to orange
The risk of an eruption at Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano has increased, with signs of "ongoing magma movement", Iceland's meteorological office says.
The risk level to the aviation industry has been raised to orange, the second-highest level, the met office said.
Any eruption could potentially lead to flooding or an emission of gas, the office added in a statement.
The Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, producing an ash cloud that severely disrupted European airspace.
The Bardarbunga volcanic system is located under the north-west region of Iceland's Vatnajokull glacier.
(continued)
I can pronounce Eyjafjallajökull and Vatnajökull.
So can I, it's just a matter of knowing how spelling relates to pronunciation

Foul, even Hungarians can't pronounce that correctly.

Throw in a few virgins to appease the gods, that normally works.
Can I examine them carefully, to determine without a doubt they are still virgins?

At least it's got a more pronounceable name than the last one. In fact, it sounds vaguely Tolkien-esque.

Going to Iceland in January to chase Northern Lights
FLights pretty cheap from Canada ( $700 return ) and nice accommodation in Islafjord just below the Arctic Circle about $80 a night.
Chasing this of course...

Apparently, you were not allowed to speak unless you could pronounce Þingvellir properly (it should sound like saying "Thing fucker" with a heavy cold and a lisp.)

Well, Tolkien took a lot of his names and story from the Nordic mythology, so that is not a coincidence.
