![]() Macquarie Island works off Tasmanian time, AEST (GMT+10) or AEDT (GMT+11).I wonder if someone was to ask you "May I have the time, please?" What would you say? Maybe this is a stupid question but, what's the time zone for Antartica? How's time being calcualted down there? - Garlics82 19:52, (UTC) I just created a page for this, but don't really know whether it's already listed on Antarctica under another name. I'm thinking of moving the category to Outposts in Antarctica. Any outposts of Antarctica would have to be established elsewhere by Antarctic citizens. An outpost of something is a small area offset from the larger, named area. Can someone verify or refute this? (And remove the map if necessary.) - Eitheladar 06:20, (UTC) I'm pretty sure that magazine has a copyright policy. The map appears to be from National Geographic magazine. You people are a bunch of wanna be intellectuals with no common sense. Politically nonsense or not it is a na event that hold meaning in Antarctica and to the world. When there's no scientific success, it's the only way to get to the records with such nonsense. Anyhow the claim about Palma sounds like Argentine propaganda. I've heard a succestion, that the first birth would have been already around the late 40's, with a member of the Soviet whaling fleet being the mother. But worse: the births-in-antarctica stuff are distasteful (and also completely pointless) political stunts designed to bolster political claims. And that kind of info belongs in demog anyway. It was wrong (the demog article lists names so is presumably accurate). Connolley 16:38, (UTC)) I don't like this piece of info being there, so prompted by your comment above I've removed it. The opening paragraph of this article claims that only one person has been born in Antarctica, but the "Demographics of Antarctica" article says there have been three. I'm just not spoiling for a fight right now. As a generality, I much prefer unambiguous names throughout. Seems the word "station" is appropriate in their names. and I am (after some research) about to rename them again. You and I will disagree about some place names, no doubt, but these (I think) are clearly better for your change. Davis already has a disambiguation pages due to the US place names. They were all named after explorers, so they are naturally ambiguous from day one. into another state or territory?
