# From Steffen Thorsen (2010-03-10):
|
|
# We got these changes from the Australian Antarctic Division:
|
|
# - Macquarie Island will stay on UTC+11 for winter and therefore not
|
|
# switch back from daylight savings time when other parts of Australia do
|
|
# on 4 April.
|
|
#
|
|
# - Casey station reverted to its normal time of UTC+8 on 5 March 2010.
|
|
# The change to UTC+11 is being considered as a regular summer thing but
|
|
# has not been decided yet.
|
|
#
|
|
# - Davis station will revert to its normal time of UTC+7 at 10 March 2010
|
|
# 20:00 UTC.
|
|
#
|
|
# - Mawson station stays on UTC+5.
|
|
#
|
|
# In addition to the Rule changes for Casey/Davis, it means that Macquarie
|
|
# will no longer be like Hobart and will have to have its own Zone created.

|
|
# From Craig Mundell (1994-12-15)</a>:
|
|
# Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same
|
|
# time as Moscow, Russia.
|
|
#
|
|
# From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08):
|
|
# I queried the folks at Columbia who spent the summer at Vostok and this is
|
|
# what they had to say about time there:
|
|
# ``in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
|
|
# time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
|
|
# 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
|
|
# of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
|
|
# natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT.''
|
|
#
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04):
|
|
# This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
|
|
# in person. He said that some Antartic locations set their local
|
|
# time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
|
|
# changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
|
|
# solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
|
|
# happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time
|
|
# it is at Vostok. But we'll guess UTC+6.

#
|
|
# From Ethan Dicks (1996-10-06):
|
|
# It keeps the same time as Punta Arenas, Chile, because, just like us
|
|
# and the South Pole, that's the other end of their supply line....
|
|
# I verified with someone who was there that since 1980,
|
|
# Palmer has followed Chile. Prior to that, before the Falklands War,
|
|
# Palmer used to be supplied from Argentina.

# Amundsen-Scott, South Pole, continuously occupied since 1956-11-20
|
|
#
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1996-09-03):
|
|
# Normally it wouldn't have a separate entry, since it's like the
|
|
# larger Antarctica/McMurdo since 1970, but it's too famous to omit.
|
|
#
|
|
# From Chris Carrier (1996-06-27):
|
|
# Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station,
|
|
# stated that he would have liked to have kept GMT at the station,
|
|
# but that he found it more convenient to keep GMT+12
|
|
# as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,
|
|
# which was on GMT+12 because New Zealand was on GMT+12 all year
|
|
# at that time (1957). (Source: Siple's book 90 degrees SOUTH.)

|
|
# (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300, no longer available):
|
|
# We use the same time as McMurdo does.
|
|
# And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
|
|
# One last quirk about South Pole time.
|
|
# All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
|
|
# Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
|
|
# makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
|
|
# we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
|
|
# Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
