Sommaroy Island in northern Norway is the only place in the world where there is “no time”, people here do not use clocks, day and night are the same.

Here, the sun does not rise in winter and does not set in summer.

This special natural phenomenon comes from the island's location because Sommaroy is located north of the Arctic Circle. According to SkyNews.

As a result, the sunrise and sunset cycles on this island are different from the rest of the world, according to SkyNews.

From November to January, the island is plunged into darkness, and from May to July, the sun never sets. According to SkyNews.

Living in such conditions, the approximately 350 residents, who make a living mainly from fishing and tourism, have lost the concept of time. According to SkyNews.

Shops, offices and schools are also being adjusted more flexibly to suit people's lives. According to SkyNews.
