Since lines of longitude converge at the North and South Pole, it's almost impossible (and very impractical) to determine which time zone you're in based on the longitude.
Therefore, researchers in the Arctic and Antarctic regions of the earth usually use the time zone associated with their research stations. For example, since nearly all flights to Antarctica and the South Pole are from New Zealand, New Zealand time is the most commonly used time zone in Antarctica.

The same time as they use at the North Pole I expect. But seriously I would thing that they would used the time zone for which ever country they from and of course the only permanent base at the south pole is American.

If you are standing at the pole it can be whatever time of day you want. Since no one stays at the pole for very long, it is not really an issue.

As it's a US base, they use Eastern Standard Time.

im thinking they dont use an official time.. seeing as that it can be daytime for a very long time.. people who go there just use their local timezones from where they came from as basis i guess

They are so busy keeping warm they don't care about the time.
