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

201# From Susan Smith <URL:http://www.cybertours.com/whs/pole10.html>
202# (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300): We use the same time as McMurdo does.
203# And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
204# One last quirk about South Pole time.
205# All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
206# Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
207# makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
208# we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
209# Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
