Eyjafjallajokull is an Icelandic glacier volcano, famous for its eruption in 2010 that disrupted European air travel. The word combines several Icelandic morphemes into a single, multi-syllabic name, reflecting the landscape (eyja = islands, fjall = mountain, jökull = glacier). It is pronounced with a challenging sequence of consonant clusters and a non-English vowel system.
