184 # Normally it wouldn't have a separate entry, since it's like the
185 # larger Antarctica/McMurdo since 1970, but it's too famous to omit.
187 # From Chris Carrier <72157.3334@CompuServe.COM> (1996-06-27):
188 # Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station,
189 # stated that he would have liked to have kept GMT at the station,
190 # but that he found it more convenient to keep GMT+12
191 # as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,
192 # which was on GMT+12 because New Zealand was on GMT+12 all year
193 # at that time (1957). (Source: Siple's book 90 degrees SOUTH.)
195 # From Susan Smith <URL:http://www.cybertours.com/whs/pole10.html>
196 # (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300): We use the same time as McMurdo does.
197 # And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
198 # One last quirk about South Pole time.
199 # All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
200 # Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
201 # makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
202 # we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
203 # Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
