What a creative endeavor by @seismogenic! He attempted to make Icelandic rúgbrauð in his car during the #CaliforniaHeatWave. This bread is traditionally baked underground using #Iceland's geothermal activity.

"Children are very important to report on during war, because they're often the most affected by conflict," @TreyYingst tells @aemeek

"They're extremely vulnerable. They are at the mercy of the adults around them.”
