-# Normally it wouldn't have a separate entry, since it's like the
-# larger Antarctica/McMurdo since 1970, but it's too famous to omit.

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

-# <a href="http://www.cybertours.com/whs/pole10.html">
-# http://www.cybertours.com/whs/pole10.html (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300):
-# </a>
-# We use the same time as McMurdo does.
-# And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
-# One last quirk about South Pole time.
-# All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
-# Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
-# makes all of the clocks run fast.  So every couple of days,
-# we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
-# Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
