282 +# From Craig Mundell (1994-12-15):
283 +# http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/antarctica/QA/computers/Directions,Time,ZIP
266 284 # Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same
267 285 # time as Moscow, Russia.
268 286 #
269 287 # From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08):
270 288 # I queried the folks at Columbia who spent the summer at Vostok and this is
271 289 # what they had to say about time there:
272 290 # "in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
273 291 # time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
274 292 # 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
275 293 # of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
276 294 # natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT."
277 295 #
278 296 # From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04):
279 297 # This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
280 -# in person. He said that some Antartic locations set their local
298 +# in person. He said that some Antarctic locations set their local
281 299 # time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
282 300 # changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
283 301 # solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
284 302 # happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time
285 303 # it is at Vostok. But we'll guess UTC+6.

357 378 # One last quirk about South Pole time.

359 380 # Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
360 381 # makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
