Is this inhabited island the world's first time-free zone?
Norway's Arctic island of Sommarøy once proposed becoming a "time-free zone" during the summer's 69 days of Midnight Sun. This initiative, partly a tourism campaign, aimed to let residents live by natural rhythms rather than clocks. The Midnight Sun phenomenon, where the sun never sets, offers unique travel experiences across northern Norway.
