Daylight saving time in the Falkland Islands

DST is observed from the first Sunday of September to the third Sunday of April.[1]

The Islands will in 2011 try all year round "summer time"/DST (UTC-03:00): official clocks will not go back on April 17, 2011.[2][3] For 2012 it is planned to go back to standard time during the southern hemisphere winter.[3]

However, people in Camp (the countryside areas outside the main settlement, Stanley) do not tend to observe "summer time"/DST and keep their clocks on "Camp time" (GMT-4).[4] Or they use summer time (GMT-3) all year to get more daylight for farming, depending on which source one reads.[5]
