Time In Argentina

Argentina is located at a longitude that would naturally put it in the UTC−4 time zone, but it actually uses the UTC−3 time zone. Argentina determines whether to observe daylight saving time on a year-by-year basis, and individual provinces may opt out of the federal decision. At present, Argentina does not observe daylight saving time.

The Argentine Hydrographic Service maintains the official national time.

Famous quotes containing the words time in and/or time:

    “I feel free as a bird. I’m in a unique position because I’m the boss. I buy what I like. I initiate things. I can experiment with all kinds of things I think the kids might be interested in. Nobody interferes. For me, it’s no chore to go to work. Most people never get to do this at any time in their lives.”
    —Sarah Houghton, U.S. librarian. As quoted in Working, book 9, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    “What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
