 # Casey moved from UTC+8 to UTC+11

 # 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 Craig Mundell (1994-12-15)</a>:
 # Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same
 # time as Moscow, Russia.
 #
 # 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 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.

 # Amundsen-Scott, South Pole, continuously occupied since 1956-11-20

 # 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.)
 #
 # From Susan Smith
 # http://www.cybertours.com/whs/pole10.html
 # (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300, no longer available):
 # 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!!

	# 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.

	# Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same
	# time as Moscow, Russia.
	#
	# 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 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.

	# as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,

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

	# We use the same time as McMurdo 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!!
