128# Amundsen-Scott, South Pole, since 1957-01-23
129# From Paul Eggert (1996-09-03):
130# Normally it wouldn't have a separate entry, since it's like the
131# larger Antarctica/McMurdo since 1970, but it's too famous to omit.
132#
133# From Chris Carrier <72157.3334@CompuServe.COM> (1996-06-27):
134# Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station,
135# stated that he would have liked to have kept GMT at the station,
136# but that he found it more convenient to keep GMT+12
137# as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,
138# which was on GMT+12 because New Zealand was on GMT+12 all year
139# at that time (1957). (Source: Siple's book 90 degrees SOUTH.)
140#
141# From Susan Smith <URL:http://www.cybertours.com/whs/pole10.html>
142# (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300): We use the same time as McMurdo does.
143# And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
144# One last quirk about South Pole time.
145# All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
146# Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
147# makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
148# we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
149# Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
