Some LMT (local mean time) values in the tz database seem to be incorrect. Below are the values I believe to be correct. Alaska America/Juneau -8:57:41 Alaska America/Yakutat -9:14:55 Alaska America/Anchorage -9:59:36 Alaska America/Nome -11:01:38 Alaska America/Adak -11:46:38 Philippines Asia/Manila 8:04:00 Guam Pacific/Guam 9:39:00 Northern Mariana Islands Pacific/Saipan 9:43:00 Samoa Pacific/Apia -11:26:56 American Samoa Pacific/Pago_Pago -11:22:48 Note that West Samoa is no longer the correct name; it is Samoa. No LMT information was given for: BIOT Indian/Chagos 4:49:40 Cocos Islands Indian/Cocos 6:27:40 Several geographic locations for Antarctica bases are not present in the tz database. Some time ago I looked the latitude/longitude up from various sources, some more reliable than others. Locations missing in the tz database are: Brazil Comandante Ferraz, King George Island 62:05S 058:24E The names of the Chilean bases are incomplete - titles are omitted: Escudero, South Shetland Islands 62:11:57S 058:57:35W Presidente Eduardo Frei, King George Island 62:14S 058:48W General Bernardo O'Higgins, Antarctic Peninsula 63:19S 057:04W Capitan Arturo Prat 62:30S 059:41W Villa Las Estrellas is the little village built around the Frei base. China Great Wall, King George Island 62:13S 058:58W Zhongshan, Larsemann Hills, Prydz Bay 69:22S 076:23E Germany Georg von Neumayer 70:39S 008:15W India Dakshin Gangotri 70:05S 012:00E Japan Dome Fuji 77:19S 039:42E Syowa 69:00:22S 039:35:24E South Korea King Sejong, King George Island 62:13S 058:47W Norway Bouvet (territory, never inhabited) 54:26S 003:24E Peter I Island (claim, never inhabited) 68:47S 090:35W Russia Molodezhnaya, Alasheyev Bay 67:40S 045:51E Vostok 78:24S 106:54E South Africa Marion Island 46:53S 037:52E Sanae IV 71:41S 002:50W United Kingdom British Antarctic Territories (BAT) claims: South Orkney Islands 60:35S 045:30W South Shetland Islands 62:00S 060:00W USA Palmer, Anvers Island 64:48S 064:06W McMurdo, Ross Island 77:50S 166:36E Amundsen-Scott, South Pole 90:00S 000:00E Since I didn't bother to mention the sources (too many), you might take this information 'cum granum salis', but anyway, it might be of some use. Has anyone better information? I shall publish a new web page with a compilation of some tz database information in due time. Compiling all information resulted in the above notes.
