<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Hello IANA!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I have noticed that a number of research stations in
Antarctica are listed in the tz database,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>but none in the UTC-1 to UTC+1 range, even if there
should be such stations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>One such station is the Troll station, which is operated
year-around and belongs to Norway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I had a mail conversation with the responsible
authority, the Norwegian Polar Institute, about which time zone the Troll
station actually uses.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>The Troll station station officially uses UTC+0. During
the dark season March-October, when no air or overland travel is done, it uses
Norwegian summertime UTC+2 to simplify communication.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>So I suggest you add a new zone called
Antarctica/Troll</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>You may confirm this through Paul-Inge Flakstad at
the Norwegian Polar Institute ( <A

lang=EN-US>Our website page about Troll (where I pulled the info from) states
that “Troll is 2 hours after Norwegian time”. With Norway in GMT +1, this would
implicitly place Troll in GMT -1. However, I believe this is wrong, and that you
are correct; Several reliable(ish) sources place Troll in GMT 0, and I assume
they base this on geographical coordinates. This also fits nicely into the “2
hours behind”-info on our website, provided one is comparing to Norwegian summer
time.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
