| # 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 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.

| # It keeps the same time as Punta Arenas, Chile, because, just like us

 | |
| # 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.

 | |
| #
 | |
| # 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.)

 | |
| # 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!!
