   225 # ``in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
       
   226 # time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
       
   227 # 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead

   232 # This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
       
   233 # in person.  He said that some Antartic locations set their local
       
   234 # time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
       
   235 # changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
       
   236 # solar noon.  So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
       
   237 # happened to be during their visit.  So we still don't really know what time
       
   238 # it is at Vostok.  But we'll guess UTC+6.

   283 # I verified with someone who was there that since 1980,
       
   284 # Palmer has followed Chile.  Prior to that, before the Falklands War,
       
   285 # Palmer used to be supplied from Argentina.

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

   316 # We use the same time as McMurdo does.
       
   317 # And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
       
   318 # One last quirk about South Pole time.
       
   319 # All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
       
   320 # Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
       
   321 # makes all of the clocks run fast.  So every couple of days,
       
   322 # we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
       
   323 # Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
