Its name, Laki, is easier to pronounce than Eyjafjallajokull. Some Icelandic words are easier to pronounce than others!
The Laki volcanic fissure in southern Iceland erupted over an eight-month period from 8 June 1783 to February 1784.
It triggered a weird weather and bad crops which were one of the causes of the revolution.
