Ach, wie gut dass niemand weiss, dass ich Eyjafjallajökull heiss!

Besides causing air traffic chaos, the impishly named Eyjafjallajökull has become the newscaster's nightmare. If five-year old Icelanders can pronounce that, surely they are child-prodigies? As for the rest of us, the BBC has come to the rescue:

'Here is the BBC Pronunciation Unit's guide on how to saw the glacier's name. Eyjafjallajökull (or Eyafallajökull) is pronounced AY-uh-fyat-luh-YOE-kuutl (-uh) , that is -ay as in day, -fy as in few, -oe as in French coeur, -uu as in boot, the -tl as in atlas. The (-uh) is "a" as in ago.
Stressed syllables are in capital letters.'
