Bug Description

A crash occurs when I try to add the city "Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica" to the world clock.

### Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Gnome-clocks
2) Go to the "World" tab
3) Click the "+" icon
4) Search for "South Pole" and choose the first option
5) Click "Add"

### Expected:
Clock is added to the list of "World clocks" to show the "South Pole" time.

### What happened instead:
Gnome-clocks crashes and quits

I was UNABLE to re-create this issue with 3.38.0-1 on a groovy system.

I was however ABLE to RECREATE on a focal system using 3.36.0-1 following instructions set out by OP.

How do I test?
Should I use the PPA you provided in #1879917?

This issue cannot be reproduced on "gnome-clocks 3.36.2".

I have checked via this ppa:
"deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/amribrahim1987/ppa/ubuntu focal main"

You can just download and install the .deb package from the PPA without adding the PPA to your system (because the PPA might have other unwanted packages).

Like this package for example:
