 140 # and the South Pole, that's the other end of their supply line....
 141 # I verified with someone who was there that since 1980,
 142 # Palmer has followed Chile.  Prior to that, before the Falklands War,
 143 # Palmer used to be supplied from Argentina.

 157 # Amundsen-Scott, South Pole, since 1957-01-23

 159 # Normally it wouldn't have a separate entry, since it's like the
 160 # larger Antarctica/McMurdo since 1970, but it's too famous to omit.
 161 #
 162 # From Chris Carrier <72157.3334@CompuServe.COM> (1996-06-27):
 163 # Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station,
 164 # stated that he would have liked to have kept GMT at the station,
 165 # but that he found it more convenient to keep GMT+12
 166 # as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,
 167 # which was on GMT+12 because New Zealand was on GMT+12 all year
 168 # at that time (1957).  (Source: Siple's book 90 degrees SOUTH.)

 170 # From Susan Smith <URL:http://www.cybertours.com/whs/pole10.html>
 171 # (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300): We use the same time as McMurdo does.
 172 # And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
 173 # One last quirk about South Pole time.
 174 # All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
 175 # Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
 176 # makes all of the clocks run fast.  So every couple of days,
 177 # we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
 178 # Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
