Both the North and South Poles officially use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), also known as Greenwich Mean Time. UTC is mostly used for scientific observations. However, the Moscow's time is used in the North pole and New Zeland's time in South pole. In Antarctica Region in South Pole, most of the countries of the world is caring out research and may be using their country's time for their convenience.

The North Pole uses Santa Standard Time, and the South Pole uses Penguin Standard Time.

If you take a watch to the south pole, it will self destruct out of confusion. You are in all 24 time zones at once.

Most of the traffic to the South Pole goes through Christchurch NZ and McMurdo, which is in the same time zone as NZ so they use NZ standard time; Greenwich +12.

Good thing no one lives there! Especially since the sun doesn't rise and set during a day, but goes around in a circle. There are research stations at the South Pole, I'm guessing they use their home country's time.

Apparently, they either use GMT or their home country time. GMT, or Universal time, appears to be the favourite.
