# Phoenix Islands, Kiribati
# From Paul Eggert (2021-05-27):
# Enderbury was inhabited 1860/1880s to mine guano, and 1938-03-
# for aviation (ostensibly commercial, but military uses foreseen).
# The 19th-century dates are approximate. See Pacific/Kanton for
# the currently inhabited representative for this timezone.
Zone Pacific/Enderbury 0 - -00 1860
-11:24:20 - LMT 1885
0 - -00 1938 Mar 6
-12:00 - -12 1942 Feb 9
0 - -00
```
So upstream decided to use UTC for durations where Enderbury was not inhabited. So there are two solutions: Use Pacific/Kanton or we need to start a discussion with upstream.
