Hi,

I would expect to find the time zone of Iceland/Reykjavik in Europe or 
Atlantic Ocean but it is in Africa:

The following information has been given:

         Iceland

Therefore TZ='Africa/Abidjan' will be used.
Selected time is now:   Fri Sep 15 05:44:06 GMT 2023.
Universal Time is now:  Fri Sep 15 05:44:06 UTC 2023.
Is the above information OK?
1) Yes
2) No

You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line
         TZ='Africa/Abidjan'; export TZ
to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in 
again.

Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you
can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:
Africa/Abidjan
------------------------

Why is it mapped to 'Africa/Abidjan'?

# tzselect --version
tzselect (GNU libc) 2.35

release of tz code and data: 2023c

Thx,
