Vadso: Town in Norway plans a 26-hour day

An Arctic region of Norway intends to implement a revolutionary new 26-hour day, with clocks set to 13 o’clock, to fit in more time for its “unique way of life.”

Wenche Pederson, mayor of Vadso, an Arctic village, presented the proposal in a letter to the European Commission. She hopes to get it approved, and in the next steps, the EU agency will advise the Norwegian authorities to implement the new clock.

Vadso and the surrounding area have had difficulty attracting residents

The reasons for extending the conventional 24-hour day by an hour are unclear, with Pederson stating that it is all about “celebrating and promoting” the Norwegian way of life in the region.

It appears that Vadso and the surrounding area have had difficulty attracting residents, and it is expected that a new clock will help promote what it has to offer.

She said: “What is the good thing about living here? It’s the time.” But she admitted that she isn’t confident that the new 13-hour system will be given the green light.

“We haven’t thought a lot about that,” Pederson told Politico. “The clock will go from 12 to 13… and we have to see how this will go. I don’t think they’re going to say yes so we haven’t thought about all the details.”

“Through our ‘MOREtime’ project, we aim to celebrate and promote this unique way of life”

In her letter to the European Commission, she said: “Through our ‘MOREtime’ project, we aim to celebrate and promote this unique way of life, offering individuals the opportunity to enjoy more quality time engaging in activities such as fishing, hunting, learning new languages, or simply being with loved ones.”

She emphasized how the residents live a more leisurely and community-oriented lifestyle. And, given the increasingly serious situation with Russia and its threats towards the West, Pederson believes it is critical to maintain a healthy population in the area.
