185 # I verified with someone who was there that since 1980,

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

216 # (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300, no longer available):
217 # We use the same time as McMurdo does.
218 # And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
219 # One last quirk about South Pole time.
220 # All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
221 # Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
222 # makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
223 # we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
224 # Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
