Time Zones of Antarctica

October 5, 2009   

A few people have asked me what time zone Antarctica is in. Strictly speaking it is GMT without daylight savings time. However, in reality every base operates a different time and those are linked to the supply line for the base some work on DST of those respective countries.

For example at Rothera we have the same time as the Falklands, the US south pole base is on NZ day light savings time and Palmer the US station on the peninsula is on Chilean Time. Indeed on the south pole you can walk through all the global time zones in a few seconds!
