2521315084cSEdwin Groothuis# From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08):
2531315084cSEdwin Groothuis# I queried the folks at Columbia who spent the summer at Vostok and this is
2541315084cSEdwin Groothuis# what they had to say about time there:
255c26a5802SEdwin Groothuis# "in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
2561315084cSEdwin Groothuis# time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
2571315084cSEdwin Groothuis# 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
2581315084cSEdwin Groothuis# of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
259c26a5802SEdwin Groothuis# natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT."

2611315084cSEdwin Groothuis# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04):
2621315084cSEdwin Groothuis# This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
263eb1c1a05SSergey Kandaurov# in person.  He said that some Antarctic locations set their local
2641315084cSEdwin Groothuis# time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
2651315084cSEdwin Groothuis# changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
2661315084cSEdwin Groothuis# solar noon.  So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
2671315084cSEdwin Groothuis# happened to be during their visit.  So we still don't really know what time
2681315084cSEdwin Groothuis# it is at Vostok.  But we'll guess UTC+6.

3211315084cSEdwin Groothuis# as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,
