|  | # <a href="http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/antarctica/QA/computers/Directions,Time,ZIP"> | 
|  | # 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. |

|  | # 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.) |

|  | # (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!! |
