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.

Clicking on Twitter: Midnight Sun, Cuteness, Solstice

These are the 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.
