About the time in Jan Mayen
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Jan Mayen day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 07:00–15:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Jan Mayen follows the civil time used across its region of Svalbard and Jan Mayen; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Jan Mayen sits at latitude 71.01, in the high-latitude band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 17h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
