235 # From Chris Carrier <72157.3334@CompuServe.COM> (1996-06-27):
236 # Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station,
237 # stated that he would have liked to have kept GMT at the station,
238 # but that he found it more convenient to keep GMT+12
239 # as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,
240 # which was on GMT+12 because New Zealand was on GMT+12 all year
241 # at that time (1957). (Source: Siple's book 90 degrees SOUTH.)

245 # (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300, no longer available):
246 # We use the same time as McMurdo does.
247 # And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
248 # One last quirk about South Pole time.
249 # All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
250 # Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
251 # makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
252 # we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
253 # Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
