This Norwegian island likely to become the world's first time-free zone

The wise ones say that time is the most precious commodity in the world. An ordinary person turns into extraordinary by valuing time. Time once lost never comes back. So much stress has been laid and proverbs made to reiterate the importance of time, but imagine a place where people would rather not follow any time format at all?
Well, this is true in the case of the residents of Sommarøy Island located north of the Arctic Circle in west Tromso. Reportedly, the inhabitants of the island are rallying to remove the concept of time because of a different time zone. Since Sommarøy is situated very far north, the region witnesses all dark winters and perennial sunshine in summer, which means Sommarøy spends November to January in darkness, and once the sun rises on 18 May, it does not set again until 26 July.


Therefore, the locals are aiming for a time-free zone devise that will help them to schedule daily tasks. One of the residents of the island told Norwegian radio station NRK that things should be such that people visiting Sommarøy can discard their watch and live the way they want.

Meanwhile, the Time-Free Zone campaign has been receiving a lot of publicity in the world. The lawmakers are discussing the implications of implementing time-free policy which also includes adding Sommarøy on the world map to encourage tourist arrivals.

Surely, there will be many travel lovers out there who are willing to go for a “time detox” by vacationing in Sommarøy. No?
