# While the entire country changes its time, Katima Mulilo and other

# settlements in Caprivi unofficially will not because the sun there

# rises and sets earlier compared to other regions. Chief of

# Forecasting Riaan van Zyl explained that the far eastern parts of

# the country are close to 40 minutes earlier in sunrise than the rest

# of the country.

#

# From Paul Eggert (2007-03-31):

# Apparently the Caprivi Strip informally observes Botswana time, but

# we have no details. In the meantime people there can use Africa/Gaborone.

# Howland was mined for guano by American companies 1857-1878 and British

# 1886-1891; Baker was similar but exact dates are not known.

# Inhabited by civilians 1935-1942; U.S. military bases 1943-1944;

# uninhabited thereafter.

# Howland observed Hawaii Standard Time (UTC-10:30) in 1937;

# see page 206 of Elgen M. Long and Marie K. Long,

# Amelia Earhart: the Mystery Solved, Simon & Schuster (2000).

# So most likely Howland and Baker observed Hawaii Time from 1935

# until they were abandoned after the war.

# Mined for guano by American companies 1857-1879 and British 1883?-1891?.

# Inhabited by civilians 1935-1942; IGY scientific base 1957-1958;

# uninhabited thereafter.
