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. # Zone Antarctica/Vostok 0 - zzz 1957 Dec 16 6:00 - VOST # Vostok time # S Africa - year-round bases # Marion Island, -4653+03752 # Sanae, -7141-00250 # UK # # British Antarctic Territories (BAT) claims # South Orkney Islands # scientific station from 1903 # whaling station at Signy I 1920/1926 # South Shetland Islands # # year-round bases # Bird Island, South Georgia, -5400-03803, since 1983 # Deception Island, -6259-06034, whaling station 1912/1931, # scientific station 1943/1967, # previously sealers and a scientific expedition wintered by accident, # and a garrison was deployed briefly # Halley, Coates Land, -7535-02604, since 1956-01-06 # Halley is on a moving ice shelf and is periodically relocated # so that it is never more than 10km from its nominal location. # Rothera, Adelaide Island, -6734-6808, since 1976-12-01 # # From Paul Eggert (2002-10-22) # <http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/g.html> says Rothera is -03 all year. # # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Antarctica/Rothera 0 - zzz 1976 Dec 1 -3:00 - ROTT # Rothera time # Uruguay - year round base # Artigas, King George Island, -621104-0585107 # USA - year-round bases # # Palmer, Anvers Island, since 1965 (moved 2 miles in 1968) # # 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.
