Bering Standard Time is extended one zone west by custom, so this 12th zone is unnamed and not used in Alaska, which is the only state lying partly in the Eastern Hemisphere ...
Alaskans Double Their Daylight Savings - Geophysical Institute
1996年3月28日 · With the time-zone trimming, Juneau time became Anchorage and Fairbanks time. Before 1983, when it was 5 p.m. in Fairbanks and Anchorage, it was 7 p.m. in Juneau (Southeast Alaska was put on Pacific Time during World War II to synchronize the state capital with San Francisco and Seattle).
