The double 'l' is spoken more like 'tl' and uses the tongue to make a click. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13366#post-163641 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 11:15:45 +0000 Rabid Hamster 163641@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><strong>Bárðarbunga volcano<br /> ERUPTION BRIEFING 29/8/14 1100hrs</strong></p> <p><strong>Summary</strong><br /> • A ‘fissure’ eruption has commenced at Dyngjujokull (on open ground at this stage, NOT below glacier).<br /> • Aerial photography evidence does not discount further eruption sub-glacially, which could generate ash.<br /> • Aviation Code Red, all flights advised not to overfly in the meantime.<br /> • Aviation Code Yellow now also issued for Askja volcano to north of current eruption site (Aviation status map at bottom of briefing).<br /> • No ash production noted as yet.<br /> • 131 earthquakes since midnight.<br /> • Webcams going into overload as viewers try to access livestream viewing. </p>
