290 290 # "in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
291 291 # time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
292 292 # 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
293 293 # of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
294 294 # natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT."

297 297 # This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
298 298 # in person. He said that some Antarctic locations set their local
299 299 # time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
300 300 # changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
301 301 # solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
302 302 # happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time
303 303 # it is at Vostok. But we'll guess UTC+6.

348 348 # From Ethan Dicks (1996-10-06):
349 349 # It keeps the same time as Punta Arenas, Chile, because, just like us
350 350 # and the South Pole, that's the other end of their supply line....
351 351 # I verified with someone who was there that since 1980,
352 352 # Palmer has followed Chile. Prior to that, before the Falklands War,
353 353 # Palmer used to be supplied from Argentina.

364 365 #
365 366 # From Chris Carrier (1996-06-27):
366 367 # Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station,
367 368 # stated that he would have liked to have kept GMT at the station,
368 369 # but that he found it more convenient to keep GMT+12
369 370 # as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,
370 371 # which was on GMT+12 because New Zealand was on GMT+12 all year
371 372 # at that time (1957). (Source: Siple's book 90 Degrees South.)

375 376 # (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300, no longer available):
376 377 # We use the same time as McMurdo does.
377 378 # And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
378 379 # One last quirk about South Pole time.
379 380 # All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
380 381 # Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
381 382 # makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
382 383 # we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
383 384 # Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!
