An Amusing Observation...

I have noticed that the majority of articles on the ash cloud which has completely closed UK airspace refer to it as the eruption of "Iceland's volcano."

I thought Iceland had quite a few volcanoes, so I was looking for the name of the one that's just gone bang, and found that I had to hunt round for a while... I suppose that reporting on the Eyjafjallajokull glacier is a sub-editor's nightmare...

Ah, it's not too bad a name! Just like the capital, Reykjavíkurhöfn... :D
