A little off topic, but if it goes off and is in the news, it will be useful to know how to pronouce Bárðarbunga: <a href="http://www.mbl.is/frettir/innlent/2014/08/19/how_to_pronounce_bardarbunga/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mbl.is&#x2F;frettir&#x2F;innlent&#x2F;2014&#x2F;08&#x2F;19&#x2F;how_to_pronounc...</a><p>The key is that &#x27;ð&#x27; is not really a &#x27;d&#x27; sound, it&#x27;s a &#x27;th&#x27; sound. But it&#x27;s the &#x27;th&#x27; sound you make in &#x27;feather&#x27; and not like the one you make in &#x27;this&#x27;. (Pay attention where your tongue is as you say the words; all &quot;th&quot; sounds are not alike. The other &#x27;th&#x27; sound is &#x27;Þ&#x27; in Icelandic)
