224# And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ 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!! 231# 232Link Antarctica/McMurdo Antarctica/South_Pole |
