According to yesterdays Observer it's: AYA-feeyapla-yurkul. Which doesn't exactly roll off the tongue and isn't anywhere near as memorable as Krakatoa, Tambora or Vesuvius. Our new boy is nowhere near as destructive either (so far) he'll have to turn up the heat a bit to enter the volcano hall of fame.
