211# From Craig Mundell (1994-12-15)</a>:
212# Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same
213# time as Moscow, Russia.
214#
215# From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08):
216# I queried the folks at Columbia who spent the summer at Vostok and this is
217# what they had to say about time there:
218# ``in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
219# time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
220# 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
221# of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
222# natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT.''
223#
224# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04):
225# This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
226# in person. He said that some Antartic locations set their local
227# time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
228# changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
229# solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
230# happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time
231# it is at Vostok. But we'll guess UTC+6.
