Vostok Time (VOST)
The differences between time zones to each other are always specified in relation to the "Universal Time Coordinated" (UTC), the time on the prime meridian (zero longitude). Phoenix, for example, is on the 122nd degree of longitude west and thus in the UTC-7 time zone. Vostok Time is consistent with UTC +6.The Vostok Time does not have an associated daylight saving time.
The Vostok Time applies only to some parts of Antarctica.
