At the poles, u r having all the time zones (Longitudes) intersecting, so u cannot determine the right time coordinates. So it is an international convention to use Universal Time Coordination (UTC) or GMT time there, comparising of time, date & year as on the GMT line, i.e. international date line.

The lines of longitude that establish our time zones are so close at the North Pole, the Arctic region uses UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) when local time is necessary at the North Pole. The North Pole experiences six months of daylight and six months of darkness.

The North Pole as it is uninhabited normally uses GMT, the same as when an aircraft (International flights) is in the air. this stops confusion on eta's

The North pole is where all the time zones meet, so there should be no specific time zone there.

It's late summer, with signs that autumn is on the way. But it is still the middle of the long day of summer (literally)!
