Where and who in Russia is the first to celebrate the new year, interesting facts. New Year - who meets it first and last

Just imagine that at the time when we are just getting ready to celebrate the New Year, it has already been met somewhere in the world. When it is only 2 o'clock in the afternoon in Kyiv and exemplary housewives are hard at work in the kitchen, in New Zealand they have already managed not only to raise their glasses, but also drain them at the last twelfth stroke of the clock.

We invite our readers-travelers to dream and imagine how great it would be to celebrate the New Year not only once a day, at 12 o'clock at night, but all day long.

The first to celebrate the New Year are the inhabitants of the island of Kiritimati, which is part of the Christmas Islands (Republic of Kiribati), as well as the inhabitants of the city of Nuku'alofa (the capital of the Kingdom of Tonga). Both locations are in Oceania. So if you want to be the best, go to these islands.

How to get to Christmas Island: from Perth, Australia (Austasia Airlines, 4 hours on the way, 1680 Australian dollars round trip through the Cocos Islands). If you are interested in Christmas Island before Australia itself, then you can fly through Denpasar (Bali, Indonesia) (Austasia Airlines, flight Denpasar - Christmas Island costs $ 650 round trip).

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the standard by which society regulates clocks and time (from Greenwich Mean Time).

But you should not relax, because in 15 minutes (UTC + 13:45) the New Year will come to Chatham Island (New Zealand), which is remote from the main islands of New Zealand and is located in a special time zone.

UTC+13 - and the New Year is celebrated by New Zealand and polar explorers from the stations of the South Pole in Antarctica.

UTC+8 - China, part of Southeast Asia (Singapore, Mongolia, Malaysia, the Philippines and the island of Bali) welcome 2018.

UTC+7 - Thailand, Laos, Vietnam. Just imagine that at the same time on the islands of Kiritimati (Kiritimati) it will already be 7 am on January 1st.

UTC+6 - Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka. When Delhi and Mumbai celebrate the New Year, it will already be 7 hours and 30 minutes in New Zealand on January 1, 2018.

UTC+5 - Maldives, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan. And on the islands of Kiritimati (Kiritimati) it will already be 9 am on January 1st.

UTC+4 - Armenia, Azerbaijan, some islands in the Indian Ocean, Dubai. Next, the New Year will come to Iran, which is 3 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich time.

UTC+3 - Kenya, Tanzania, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Qatar, Madagascar.

UTC+2 - and finally the New Year reached Ukraine! Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Greece, Syria, Israel, South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia will also raise glasses with champagne with us.

UTC+1 - Western and Central Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Norway), part of Africa.

UTC +0 - and 2018 comes to the countries of the Zero Meridian (Greenwich). And this is the UK, Portugal, Iceland, part of Africa. And on the islands of Kiritimati (Kiritimati) it will already be 14 hours on January 1.

UTC -1 - Azores,

UTC -2 - Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and San Raulo), UTC -3 - Argentina and part of eastern South America,

UTC -4 - Newfoundland Island (Canada).

UTC -5 - Eastern Canada, many Caribbean islands, part of South America

Places where the New Year is celebrated first December 27th, 2014

When we still have the last feverish preparations for the New Year, some inhabitants of the Earth have not only met it and had a good time, but by this time they even managed to relax and sleep. For there are places in the world where the New Year is celebrated much earlier than ours.

Under the cut, you will see those places where the New Year is celebrated first on our planet.

1. Traditionally, the first to meet the New Year 2015 in Kiribati. And more specifically, on the Linear Islands, which are located to the east than the other islands of this country. In 1994, one of the presidential candidates promised the citizens that if he won the elections, he would make sure that Kiribati would be the first to celebrate the New Year in the whole world. He won and kept his word: he moved the demarcation line of time (a conditional line on a map of time zones). Since that time, Kiribati has been divided into three time zones, and in the easternmost of them, midnight comes 14 hours earlier than in London. (Photo: DS355/flickr.com).

2. In the same time zone as Kiribati is Tokelau, which includes a group of islands consisting of three coral atolls: Atafu, Nukunono and Fakaofo. It is a dependent territory of New Zealand. The time zone change here happened quite recently, in 2011, and the main reason for this was the problem of interaction in contacts with New Zealand, since the island used to be on the other side of the demarcation time line. (Photo: Haanee Naeem/flickr.com).

3. An hour later, the New Year will be celebrated by the people of Samoa. In 2011, there was also a change of time zone, the date of December 30, 2011 was absent in the Samoan calendar. This was done to better interact and develop cooperation with Australia and New Zealand. Interestingly, the previous time zone change was carried out in 1892 in order to adjust the time to California. (Photo: Savai'i Island/flickr.com).

4. At the same time as in Samoa, the people of Tonga, an island located one third of the way between New Zealand and Hawaii, south of Samoa, will celebrate the New Year. (Photo: pintxomoruno/flickr.com).

5. The next to celebrate the New Year are the inhabitants of the Chatham Islands. This small archipelago, which consists of two inhabited islands - Chatham and Pitt. Other small islands have the status of reservations and are generally inaccessible to both residents of the islands and tourists. Interestingly, Chatham Island has its own time zone, which is 45 minutes (less) different from New Zealand time. (Photo: Phil Pledger/flickr.com).

6. After the inhabitants of the Chatam Islands, the next New Year 2015 will be celebrated in New Zealand. (Photo: Philipp Klinger Photography/flickr.com).

7. At the same time as in New Zealand, they will celebrate the New Year in Fiji. This is a state that is located on 322 islands and islets of volcanic origin, surrounded by coral reefs, of which only 110 islands are inhabited. (Photo: brad/flickr.com).

8. The first mainland state whose inhabitants will celebrate the New Year 2015 (simultaneously with the inhabitants of New Zealand and Fiji) is Russia, or rather, the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, located in the southeastern part of the volcanic Kamchatka Peninsula. (Photo: Jasja/flickr.com).

9. In the same time zone as Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, there are numerous small islands and archipelagos in the Pacific Ocean: Tuvalu, Nauru, Wallis and Futuna, Wake and the Marshall Islands. Photo: Nauru island. (Photo: Hadi Zaher/flickr.com).

10. We travel further and move west. The next New Year will be celebrated by the inhabitants of New Caledonia, a French overseas territory located in the Western Pacific Ocean, in Melanesia, about 1,400 kilometers east of Australia and 1,500 kilometers northwest of New Zealand. (Photo: Tonton des Iles-Bye bye Everyone/flickr.com).

Countries that celebrate the New Year at the same time as New Caledonia are: Vanuatu, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Solomon Islands.

11. Together with New Caledonia, the New Year 2015 will be met by residents of another Russian city - Magadan. (Photo: Tramp/flickr.com).

12. On our journey, we finally arrived in Australia, where the first to celebrate the New Year, of course, are the inhabitants of the east coast - Sydney and Melbourne. (Photo: El Mundo, Economía y Negocios/flickr.com).

13. Simultaneously with the residents of Sydney and Melbourne, the New Year will be celebrated in Vladivostok and on such Pacific islands as Guam, the Mariana Islands and Papua New Guinea. Pictured: Guam Island. (Photo: orgazmo/flickr.com).

And I will remind you The original article is on the website InfoGlaz.rf Link to the article from which this copy is made -

Residents of the Far East are the first to celebrate the New Year in Russia. The time difference with Moscow in such cities as Magadan, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is 7 hours. While we are still at work, they are already celebrating the New Year in full.

The most, so to speak, the lucky ones are the inhabitants of the peninsula Kamchatka, as well as the population Chukotka autonomous region. The time difference between the capital of Russia, Moscow, and the above territorial units is as much as 9 hours! That is, when most of Russia is just getting ready for the main celebration of the year, the inhabitants of Kamchatka and Chukotka are already celebrating the New Year))

in the east of our country. In the Far East, these are the cities - Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, etc. The difference with Moscow is 7 hours, that is, in the Far East, the New Year is celebrated seven hours earlier than Moscow.

New Year comes earlier on Far East, and this is the first Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky difference with Moscow 9 hours, then Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Magadan, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok time difference 7 hours.

So what happens Kamchatka is the very first.

When everyone is only preparing for the New Year, tables are laid, Kamchatka receives congratulations from the President.

The New Year comes faster in those regions that are located in the easternmost part of Russia. In order to find out which time zone is the most distant from Moscow, you need to look at the map of time zones.

The map shows that the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (Anadyr) and the Kamchatka Territory (Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky) are the most remote and the difference with Moscow is 9 hours. So, it is in these parts that the New Year is celebrated 9 hours earlier than in Moscow.



Residents of the Russian Federation celebrate the New Year before everyone else peninsulas Kamchatka(Kamchatka Territory) and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. These two constituent entities of the Russian Federation have a time difference with Moscow of 9 hours and this is the largest time difference in Russia with the capital of Russia, Moscow, and therefore it is there that they celebrate the New Year the very first in Russia.

The first who will meet next year are the residents of Vladivostok (7 hours difference with Moscow), Khabarovsk, Magadan - they also have a 7 hour difference, we have not sat down at the table yet, but they are already drunk)).

In Siberia, 5 hours difference, then Norilsk (4 hours difference) and then Ural (2 hours difference with Moscow)

In the very extreme eastquot ;, in the Far East, it sets in earlier ... the further east the territory is located, the earlier). The easternmost (inhabited) points Russia is on the island of Sakhalin, as I understand it ... or on the islands of the Kuril chain (just those that the Japanese dispute), and on the Kamchatka Peninsula. And from the cities - in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky - there the time difference with Moscow is nine hours (for Russia this difference is the maximum), which means that the New Year will come in these cities first of all - nine hours earlier, than (for example) in Moscow.

Happy New Year!

The first to celebrate the new year in Russia are the inhabitants of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Since this peninsula is located in the easternmost part of our vast country. All regions that are in this time zone are the first to celebrate the new year.

Well, if we take into account space, then most likely they are the first to celebrate the new year on the planet.

Everyone knows that due to its huge size, Russia has 11 time zones. And those regions and cities that are located in the very east of Siran and live, if I may say so, 9 hours earlier. That is, when they celebrate the New Year, it is only three in the afternoon in Moscow. This is Kamchatka, in particular Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsk, Anadyr and others.

One of the most joyful holidays is approaching - the New Year. Where on the planet will meet the New Year 2010 first?

- Time zone UTC+14 - Kiritimati Islands, Kiribas

The first territory to celebrate the New Year will be the Christmas Islands (Christmas isl.), the chain of islands of Kiritimati (Kiritimati), the state of Kiribati (Kiribati-pronounced as Kiribas).

The state of Kiribas (also called the Gilbert Islands) is located in the central part of the Pacific Ocean and stretches from the eastern to the western hemisphere.

Until 2004, the Date Change Line - approximately passing along the 180 meridian - divided the state of Kiribas (Kiribati) into 2 different dates, when the islands in the western part of the state were 24 hours ahead of the time in the eastern part.

In 2005, the government of Kiribas (Kiribati) decided to push the Date Line a few thousand kilometers to the east, thereby collecting all of its 3 time zones on one side of the Date Line (roughly like the eastern part of Chukotka, located in the Western Hemisphere).

After this decision, the eastern islands of Kiribati (Kiribati) moved from the time zones of the Western Hemisphere GMT-10 and GMT-11 (the “-” sign displays the time behind Greenwich Mean Time by 10 and 11 hours) to new time zones - GMT + 13 and GMT + 14 ("+" means 13 and 14 hours ahead of GMT).

Previously, all territories located in the region of the 180th meridian (Chukotka, New Zealand, Fiji) could be conditionally considered the first to celebrate the New Year.

In today's world of Daylight Savings Time and the shift of the Kiribas National Date Line, the arrangement of the hands of the clock on New Year's Eve has changed a bit.

So, when the Christmas Islands (Christmas isl.) will celebrate the New Year 2010, the time in Kamchatka and Chukotka will be 22 hours (December 31), the time in Vladivostok will be 20 hours, in Moscow - 13 hours, in London (Greenwich) - 10 hours on the morning of December 31st. It is not difficult to add 14 hours difference from the Christmas Islands (Christmas isl.) to 10 o'clock in the morning in Greenwich time - to get midnight - New Year's Eve in Kiritimati (Kiritimati).

- Time zone UTC+13:45 - Chatham Islands, New Zealand

15 minutes after the arrival of the New Year on the islands of Kiritimati (Kiritimati) - the second in line for the celebration of the New Year will be the islands of Chatham, New Zealand. These islands are 12h45 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. Taking into account summer time in the southern hemisphere, they are 13h45 ahead of Greenwich Mean Time at the time of the meeting of the New Year 2010.

- Time zone UTC + 13 - New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, Phoenix Islands

In third place in New Year's Eve (or 13 hours ahead of GMT) are New Zealand (DST), Fiji (DST), Tonga (all year round 13 hours ahead of GMT) and the Phoenix Islands, already the mentioned state of Kiribas (Kiribati).

So, when there is a meeting of the New Year in Wellington, the time in Kamchatka and Chukotka will be 23 hours, in Magadan - 22 hours, in Vladivostok and Sakhalin - 21 hours, in Moscow - 14 hours, in London - 11 am, in New York - 6 am, in Los Angeles - 3:00 am December 31st.
