On April 18, the travel news and information site Skift posted their 20 favorite Pharrell Williams “Happy” video tributes that inspire wanderlust.
On April 19, ATTA President Shannon Stowell wondered out loud on Facebook if maybe it wouldn’t be cool to see a “Happy” video from Greenland.
Hours later, Greenland-based photographer Mads Pihl asked if people in the capital city of Nuuk might want to come have a dance party in the street that maybe he could film.
“I think we realized that this ‘Happy’ wave had been rolling for quite a while, and Greenland was… a bit late to the game,” says Mads Pihl. “But we want to show the world, that the Arctic can play along in games like these.”
Pihl adds, “The main goal was to have fun and get strangers to meet up and dance together.” Mission accomplished. The happy streets of Nuuk are sure to inspire wanderlust just in time for the Arctic summer.
