Norwegian Island Makes Push to Become a Time-Free Zone

In a small town named Sommarøy (or “Summer Island,”) in Northern Norway, night and day don’t follow the traditional rules. For a solid 3 months in the summer, the sun doesn’t set. For another 3 months during the winter season, it doesn’t rise. Living like this where the daylight doesn’t give any indication of the time can be frustrating or freeing, depending on how you look at it. This small town sees it as the latter and wants to push for its freedom from the constraints of traditional time. Sommarøy wants to officially become the first time-free zone in the world. If you find this as intriguing as we do, we’ve got the details on this unique little town and their unusual request.
