In practice each research station chooses a timezone to use.

11/ βŒ›Time’s almost up on this thread (sorry πŸ˜‚).

As members of the geosphere will be well aware, geo extends far beyond cartography and mapping.

As the saying goes "Everything happens somewhere", but the next question is usually "When?" Which is precisely why we return timezone information as an "annotation" in our geocoding API results

12/ We hope you enjoyed our look at the #geoweirdness of time zones πŸ•˜πŸ•₯πŸ•’.

Thanks for reading and sharing. What other strange time zone examples did we overlook?

We have many more threads about specific countries and regions, border disputes, geocoding, etc over on our blog, enjoy
