The Place Where Time Has No Meaning

In this cold and desolate place, all the time zones (24) of the Earth collide, which render them all meaningless. No land and no people can be found in this place. Time is also meaningless in this place, for the sun only shines and sets just once per year here. This place is the North Pole.

So what would happen if a ship containing 100 people from 20 countries goes here where time is irrelevant? It becomes really confusing.
