138 # It keeps the same time as Punta Arenas, Chile, because, just like us
139 # and the South Pole, that's the other end of their supply line....
140 # I verified with someone who was there that since 1980,
141 # Palmer has followed Chile. Prior to that, before the Falklands War,
142 # Palmer used to be supplied from Argentina.

156 # Amundsen-Scott, South Pole, since 1957-01-23
157 # From Paul Eggert (1996-09-03):
158 # Normally it wouldn't have a separate entry, since it's like the
159 # larger Antarctica/McMurdo since 1970, but it's too famous to omit.
161 # From Chris Carrier <72157.3334@CompuServe.COM> (1996-06-27):
162 # Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station,
163 # stated that he would have liked to have kept GMT at the station,
164 # but that he found it more convenient to keep GMT+12
165 # as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,
166 # which was on GMT+12 because New Zealand was on GMT+12 all year
167 # at that time (1957). (Source: Siple's book 90 degrees SOUTH.)
169 # From Susan Smith <URL:http://www.cybertours.com/whs/pole10.html>
170 # (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300): We use the same time as McMurdo does.
171 # And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
172 # One last quirk about South Pole time.
173 # All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
174 # Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
175 # makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
176 # we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
177 # Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
