# 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.

# Amundsen-Scott, South Pole, continuously occupied since 1956-11-20

# 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.)

#

# From Susan Smith

# http://www.cybertours.com/whs/pole10.html

# (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!!
