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.
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.)
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!!
