213# Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station,
214# stated that he would have liked to have kept GMT at the station,
215# but that he found it more convenient to keep GMT+12
216# as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,
217# which was on GMT+12 because New Zealand was on GMT+12 all year
218# at that time (1957). (Source: Siple's book 90 degrees SOUTH.)

223# We use the same time as McMurdo does.

225# One last quirk about South Pole time.
226# All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
227# Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
228# makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
229# we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
230# Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
