| 966# Vostok, Antarctica 967# 968# Vostok, since 1957-12-16, temporarily closed 1994-02/1994-11 969# From Craig Mundell (1994-12-15): 970# http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/antarctica/QA/computers/Directions,Time,ZIP 971# Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same 972# time as Moscow, Russia. 973# 974# From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08): 975# I queried the folks at Columbia who spent the summer at Vostok and this is 976# what they had to say about time there: 977# "in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo) 978# time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was 979# 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead 980# of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The 981# natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT." 982# 983# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04): 984# This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it 985# in person. He said that some Antarctic locations set their local 986# time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this 987# changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean 988# solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks 989# happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time 990# it is at Vostok. But we'll guess +06. 991# 992Zone Antarctica/Vostok 0 - -00 1957 Dec 16 993 6:00 - +06 994 | |
