Antarctica’s extreme latitudes result in continuous daylight or darkness for months, making typical time zone conventions less relevant. Research stations on the continent often follow the time zones of their sponsoring nations for ease of communication. Some bases run on UTC, while others adjust clocks to match supply routes from nearby countries. Tourists visiting often adapt to the local station time but find the concept of “midnight sun” disorienting. The lack of a universally recognized Antarctic zone underscores the unique challenges of tracking time at Earth’s extremes.
