Here is the wiki article about the volcano in Iceland that has been shooting all that ash into the air and shutting down air traffic.

Here is the helpful sound bit from wiki to help you pronounce the name of said volcano. What?!?

Oh, I didn't know they pronounce fjalla like fjatla, strange. Otherwise it's as I expected, but very fast, and not really helpful.
The sound clip in the main article is (to my ears at least) easier to understand.

Yeah that is better.

The part that threw me is as you say the"ll" which seems to be pronounced "tl". both in fjalla and jökull.

That baffled me as well, it's quite counter-intuitive. Why then to write it as "ll"? Silly vikings...
