... that Iceland observes UTC±0 year-round despite being geographically located in the UTC−1 and UTC−2 offsets, consequently resulting in detrimental health effects to Icelanders? Source: Þorleifsdóttir, Björg (27 November 2014) Brýnt lýðheilsumál að seinka klukkunni [Urgent public health issue to delay the clock]. (in Icelandic). Morgunblaðið. "Klukkuþreyta stafar af misræmi á milli staðarklukku og sólarklukku, og er það viðvarandi ástand sem getur m.a. valdið þreytu og einbeitingarskorti. [Clock fatigue is caused by a mismatch between the local time and geographical time, which is a persistent condition that can cause fatigue and lack of concentration]."; Staff (1 December 2014) Will Iceland be moved into its right geographical time zone?. Iceland Magazine. "Björg and many others believe that this lack of harmony between the geographical position and current time negatively impacts the health of the nation and can cause seasonal depression and social jetlag."; Hannesson, Heimir (15 January 2014) "Ísland í röngu tímabelti" [Iceland in the wrong time zone]. (in Icelandic). Vísir.is. "Ísland er alls ekki á sama lengdarbaug og Greenwich (0°). Reykjavík svo langt vestan við miðlínu tímabeltis síns að ekki munar nema örfáum kílometrum að borgin sé skökk um tvö tímabelti. Ef tímabeltislínum jarðar væri fylgt til hins ítrasta, væri meira að segja klukkustundarmunur á Keflavíkurflugvelli og Reykjavík." [Iceland is not at all on the same meridian as Greenwich (0 °). Reykjavík is located at 22 °, which is 22 ° west of Greenwich and 14.5 ° west of the westernmost boundary of the GMT time zone. In fact, Reykjavík is so far west of the center line of its time zone that it is only a few kilometers that the city is skewed by two time zones."

- Comment: I plan on making some more additions to the article at some point, but I believe it is of enough quality to be nominated now. I admit this may seem somewhat "technical-ish", but I reckon many will find the fact that Iceland's time zone actually causes negative health effects interesting. Feel free to propose alt hooks, ofc.
