Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Norway island wants to be world’s first time-free zone
Sommarøy is an old fishing village on a small island in Norway with a population of just over 300. It is located on the 69th parallel north, well north of the Arctic Circle, where the sun doesn’t set for nearly 70 days between May and July. In return, the sun doesn’t appear over the horizon from November to January. So, the villagers work or enjoy outside activities as long as they can beyond the time clock in the precious summer. Kids play football at 2:00 am and parents mow the grass after dinner.
This summer, the villagers signed a petition to be a time-free zone, hoping to be free from traditional time-restricted lifestyle while boosting tourism. Indeed, tourism and fishing are their main source of income in the small island village.
When do they sleep? Well, they can catch up with their sleep in the long winter.
Worry about your body clock when you visit there? You’ll eat when you become hungry and sleep when you feel sleepy. Sounds like an ultimate vacation experience, doesn’t it?
Enjoy reading and think if you want to try a life in the Arctic Circle, whether in summer or winter.
