NTP would possibly be even more tricky.

On my way to Cartagena, CO, on he plane, occasionally, I had a look at the
map of Antarctica, the research stations and the timezones used "over there" :-)

It turns out that there are 3 different approaches in use:

- same as "at home"
- something close to the timezone based on location (= other than the pole)
- same as the port of departure from <$whereever> to the station on A.

:-) but UTC may help in all of these cases....

PS: I was even considering to take our 3rd one with me to ICANN @ Cartagena,
    would have been fun, as I've got 24x7 network access in the hotel, for
    about a week :-)
