Sommarøy: The Island Where Time Stands Still

🏔️❄️📘Did you know “Sommarøy” means “Summer Island”? But don’t let the name fool you—by the end of March, while the days are finally growing longer, winter still holds this silent Arctic gem in its crisp, quiet embrace. ☀️❄️ Every day on this serene island feels like a dream. The sunlight—clear and brilliant—pours over snow-dusted landscapes, and the only sound you’ll hear is the gentle call of seabirds overhead. 🕊️🌲 Walk along deserted paths, wander past frozen inlets, and then... simply do nothing. I spent hours just basking in the sun by the hotel window, lost in thought, wrapped in the kind of quiet you never find in the city. ☕🪑 When night falls, the magic deepens. Pour a glass of wine, open a book, and layer up—because yes, I brought half a suitcase worth of sweaters and thermals! Then step out onto the balcony under the star-flung sky... and wait. And there, behind the curtains of cold and silence, nature might just reward you with the shimmering dance of the Northern Lights. 💚✨ No crowds, no noise—just you, the Arctic wind, and the awe of aurora season. #CA #US #Sonoma
