UTM is a coordinate system that defines how the Transverse Mercator (tmerc)
is used.  UTM divides the globe into N-S strips 6° wide  extending from 84°S
to 84°N.  Boundaries between each zone are on longitudes evenly divisible
by 6.  The polar regions are covered by the UPS system which uses the
polar stereographic projection.

There are some exceptions to longitude boundaries in the Scandinavia
region.
