On advice of Eruptions reader Ekoh, I thought it would be fun to try to come up with a list of the most tongue-twisting and bizarre volcano names out there. I know there are a few out there that I've only typed once (the rest of the time I cut-and-paste), so lets review some recent fun ones:
Eyjafjallajökull (Iceland) - everyone's favorite tongue twister.
Eyjafjallajökull erupting in mid-May, 2010.
And people are still talking about the how the ash crisis was handled.
Kliuchevskoi (Russia) - It doesn't help that it has like ten names to boot (from the Smithsonian GVP):
KAMCHATSKAIA GORA KAMCHATSKY VULKAN KAMTSCHATSKAJA KLIUCHEVSKAIA SOPKA KLJUTSCHEW KLJUTSCHEWSKAJA SSOPKA KLUCHEV KLYUCHEVSKAYA

Make up your mind already! See a brand new NASA EO image of the volcano erupting on June 6.
Popocatépetl (Mexico) - Mayan and Aztec names are always ...
