Terrific aerial photos from the Brooks Range top this week’s Twitter-clicks-list. People were also interested in a family making their way to Fairbanks on a bicycle built for five and wanted to check out the new Morris Thompson Center website.

These are theĀ seven most clicked links posted on our Twitter account over the past week. A great midnight sun photo tops the list with cute moose calves not far behind, followed up by a downtown shot from one of our recent 80 degree days. Our new Summer Solstice page was also trending and our Alaska Mileage plan auction saw some good traffic too.
