   hey @bepec 
   
   > But then checked Iceberg specification and it only supports timestamps 
with tz=UTC - so this example isn't something that should work, is that 
understanding correct?
   
   Iceberg indeed stores the value of timestamp with timezone in UTC. This is 
documented in https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#primitive-types
   
   The engine is expected to convert the timestamp to UTC before storing in 
Iceberg
   And no, that example should not work. We have an unit test against using 
timezone other than UTC
