Sommarøy is a small island located in the Tromsø Municipality in northern Norway. Renowned for its stunning natural beauty, this picturesque island is characterized by white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, making it a popular destination for both tourists and locals. The island experiences the phenomena of the Midnight Sun in the summer, where the sun doesn't set for several weeks, and the Polar Night in the winter, where the sun doesn't rise above the horizon for an extended period. Sommarøy is also known for its tight-knit community and the unique proposal by its residents to do away with the concept of time, advocating for a more flexible approach to daily life.
