| 752# From Paul Eggert (2001-09-29): | 752# From Rives McDow (2001-11-01): 753# 754# I correspond regularly with the Dansk Polarcenter, and wrote them at 755# the time to clarify the situation in Thule. Unfortunately, I have 756# not heard back from them regarding my recent letter. [But I have 757# info from earlier correspondence.] 758# 759# According to the center, a very small local time zone around Thule 760# Air Base keeps the time according to UTC-4, implementing daylight 761# savings using North America rules, changing the time at 02:00 local time.... 762# 763# The east coast of Greenland north of the community of Scoresbysund 764# uses UTC in the same way as in Iceland, year round, with no dst. 765# There are just a few stations on this coast, including the 766# Danmarkshavn ICAO weather station mentioned in your September 29th 767# email. The other stations are two sledge patrol stations in 768# Mestersvig and Daneborg, the air force base at Station Nord, and the 769# DPC research station at Zackenberg. 770# 771# Scoresbysund and two small villages nearby keep time UTC-1 and use 772# the same daylight savings time period as in West Greenland (Godthab). 773# 774# The rest of Greenland, including Godthab (this area, although it 775# includes central Greenland, is known as west Greenland), keeps time 776# UTC-3, with daylight savings methods according to European rules. 777# 778# It is common procedure to use UTC 0 in the wilderness of East and 779# North Greenland, because it is mainly Icelandic aircraft operators 780# maintaining traffic in these areas. However, the official status of 781# this area is that it sticks with Godthab time. This area might be 782# considered a dual time zone in some respects because of this. 783 784# From Rives McDow (2001-11-19): 785# I heard back from someone stationed at Thule; the time change took place 786# there at 2:00 AM. 787 788# From Paul Eggert (2001-11-19): |
