Current Event[edit]

It looks like there is a Jökulhlaup currently happening at the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, AK. Figured it may be interesting to you and possibly for this wiki?. It's only been happening since 2011. http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=pajk&gage=jsba2&prob_type=stage http://www.ktoo.org/2014/06/28/always-stay-back-face-mendenhall-glacier/

Sub-glacial[edit]

I am not convinced that jökulhlaups are generally regarded as solely sub-glacial. Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are also refered to as jökulhlaups and this is reflected in pages on the University of Icelands' website as well as scientific articles. I have edited the article to reflect thisIabrown (talk) 12:58, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

Would it be possible to add a pronunciation guide for the word “Jökulhlaup”? Michael JasonSmith (talk) 08:46, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

maybe someone can phrase this a bit more scientifically, but:

ö as in German, or as a short French eu

k as you woulid expect

u as German ü or French u

l as in Welsh ll (voiceless lateral fricative)

h as k
