Are there *any* pronounceable (to a non-Icelander) Icelandic volcano names?
I guess it is a bit like when we Aussies visit the land of the long white cloud (New Zealand). They out the emphaaaarsis on the wrong sylaaaarbles. But then Iceland adds four M's and three silent Q's in each placename. Then they add that letter that is a hybrid "b" or "p" just to confuse we non-viking types. Bloody lovely country though.

Disappointed that they tried to recover their entire national debt through our meal and drink prices. Really! EUR70 for a bottle of red wine that I could but elsewhere in the world for EUR18? In Australia Ned Kelly was hung for less than this state run robbery.
