# Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same

|
#
|
|
# 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 Antarctic 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 +06.

# 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!!
