Isdal Woman Day
Isdal Woman Day is observed on November 29 of every calendar year. It’s named after the Isdal Woman, an unidentified woman whose lifeless body was found in 1970, in Norway, close to Bergen. The aim of this day isn’t just to raise awareness of this unsolved mystery, but more importantly, to pay tribute to and remember all those who have died in mysterious or disputed ways, especially so if their remains weren’t able to be identified. It’s also a day to reflect on their families and loved ones. It’s hard enough to deal with grief, but it’s even worse if you don’t know what exactly happened.
