News Reporters Can’t Pronounce Eyjafjallajökull

It means: Eyja-fjalla glacier

On 14 April 2010 Eyjafjallajökull resumed erupting after a brief pause, this time from the top crater in the center of the glacier, causing meltwater floods to rush down the nearby rivers, and requiring 800 people to be evacuated.
