The mind boggles...?

Question

...what time is it at the south pole..?

Answer 1

It is whatever time is convenient for the people working there. As Amundsen-Scott station is American, they could well work on one of the American time zones for convenience in communication. On the other hand, as there is no daily division of night and day, it doesn't really matter.

The scientific work is done on UTC so it is likely that activities on the base are coordinated with things like weather observations and balloon releases so that people can attend meals together.

Answer 2

Since at the south pole, it is every time of the clock, researchers working there are advised against being at the exact south pole because then everything will happen at once to the poor researcher. He will be found eating, working, sleeping, talking, listening, reading and writing all at once, and that can have a deleterious effect on a person. But then again, aren't a lot of researchers at the south pole like that?
