Hello to all who may be still interested,

I hope this will put an end to all the misleading descriptions of the pronunciation of the Icelandic word. In this amusing little newsclip the name of the glacier is pronounced clearly several times, nice and slowly. 
It's definitely ['ejja-'fjatla-'joekytl] - as near as one can write it phonetically in an e-mail.
The [tl] is certainly near enough identical to Nahuatl 'tl', evidently in Icelandic ll, and nn are usually pronounced as unvoiced tl and tn .
