Any stations observe seasonal time changes? (A thought; could some stations advance time in the austral WINTER, to keep the same time relationship as their north-hemisphere mother country?)

I'll write up proposed entries for the antarctica file.
A friend of mine has being for an hour and a half to Amsterdam Island (one of the French South Territories). I have ask him what were the timezone used there. For the timezone itself, he's not sure. French atlas and the telephone diary report Crozet at UTC+ For DST, he is *sure* there isn't any DST in the islands (in 1986). In 1986, the population were (none of them indigenous, as indicated ;-) "Hivernage" Summer Name of base Position (Winter) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Kerguelen 80 120 Port-aux-Français 49S 70E Crozet 36 50 47S 63E Amsterdam 36 50 Martin-Viviès 37S 78E Saint-Paul : inhabited (since 1927 if I remind well) 38S 78E BTW, this islands are administred from Reunion Island and aren't very far in the southern hemisphere. As no-one ever uses an entry for them, it appears more naturally to me to place them in the Indian/ tree if you decide to create an entry. And remember that while this territory is named "Terres Australes et Antartiques Françaises" by the French (which can be translated to French Southern and Antartic Lands, as you mention in the file), but is named "French Southern Territories" in English and I mean at an international level, since the claims over Antartica are generally not accepted. Adelie Land (on Antartica continent 67S 140E): ? I have no information I know only there is a at least base (one named Dumont-d'Urville and perhaps another named Paul-Emile-Victor). Please tell me know if more information is requested. Antoine LECA (Desktop software support -- RENAULT)
