306 # Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same
307 # time as Moscow, Russia.
308 #
309 # From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08):
310 # I queried the folks at Columbia who spent the summer at Vostok and this is
311 # what they had to say about time there:
312 # "in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
313 # time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
314 # 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
315 # of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
316 # natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT."
317 #
318 # From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04):
319 # This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
320 # in person. He said that some Antartic locations set their local
321 # time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
322 # changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
323 # solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
324 # happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time
325 # it is at Vostok. But we'll guess UTC+6.

390 # at that time (1957). (Source: Siple's book 90 degrees SOUTH.)

394 # (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300, no longer available):
395 # We use the same time as McMurdo does.
396 # And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
397 # One last quirk about South Pole time.
398 # All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
399 # Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
400 # makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
401 # we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
402 # Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!

311 #
312 # From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08):
313 # I queried the folks at Columbia who spent the summer at Vostok and this is
314 # what they had to say about time there:
315 # "in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
316 # time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
317 # 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
318 # of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
319 # natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT."
320 #
321 # From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04):
322 # This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
323 # in person. He said that some Antarctic locations set their local
324 # time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
325 # changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
326 # solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
327 # happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time
328 # it is at Vostok. But we'll guess UTC+6.

403 # One last quirk about South Pole time.
404 # All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
405 # Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
406 # makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
407 # we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
