Gotta love the cut and paste  :lol:

Apparently it loosely translates as: The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.

Weren't those the opening lyrics to "The Lone Ranger" by Quantum Jump?

Now try saying that to the taxi driver after a few beers.  :lol:

Does it have a meaning?

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch more commonly known as Lanfair PG is

St Mary's Church (Llanfair) in a hollow (pwll) of white hazel (gwyngyll) near (goger) the swirling whirlpool (y chwyrndrobwll) of the church of St Tysilio (llantysilio) with a red cave ([a]g ogo goch).

Hemmi, just read today on one of our "news web page", that there is a possibility, that the volcano Katle, could erupt and that the eruption would be 10-times bigger and stronger than the eruption of Eyjafjallajoküll?  

Otherwise, the plains are grounded in Slovenia too. Just for info..Slovenia is quite far from Iceland..

The bigger volcano at Katla is under observation since they believe that the magma chambers are linked. The problem from the smaller volcano is unusual in that the ash cloud has reached about 50% higher than would normally be expected, probably related to the fact that it has erupted through a glacier.

Current thinking is that even if Katla does erupt, the ash cloud would not be forced so high even though it would also be a glacial eruption due to the fact that the crater is so much bigger there will be less pressurised force than the current eruption.

Yes.  Apparently it loosely translates as: The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.

It is known simply as Taumata.
