AI 总结
All time zones meet at the South Pole
所有时区在南极交汇
At the South Pole, a phone reads 5:21, and running around the pole would mean crossing every time zone in seconds. The sun rises and sets only once a year, so it is permanent daytime right now.
在南极,手机显示5:21,绕着极点跑一圈就等于在几秒钟内穿越所有时区。太阳每年只升起和落下一次,所以现在那里是永久的白天。
Antarctica has no official time zone
南极没有官方时区
Antarctica is the only continent without an official time zone. Because nobody lives there permanently, time is whatever people decide.
南极是唯一一个没有官方时区的大陆。因为没有人永久居住在那里,时间由人们自行决定。
- Research bases: the continent is full of them, with about 5,000 people max.
- No permanent residents: no one lives in Antarctica permanently.
- Supply-route time: bases usually adopt the time zone of whoever gives them food — their supply base.
- 研究基地:大陆上到处都是,最多约5000人。
- 没有永久居民:没有人永久居住在南极。
- 补给路线时间:基地通常采用给他们提供食物的人——即他们的补给基地所在的时区。

Antarctica's Time Zones What time zone is it in Antarctica? Because all the time zones meet there at the bottom. I'm here, and my phone says it's 5:21. But if I go run around the South P ole, am I running through all of them in just a few seconds? Life and Decisions To make things more confusing, the sun rises and sets here only once a year. It's permanent daytime right now, and the continent is full of research bases, but only about 5,000 people max. No one lives here permanently, which is why the time here is whatever people decide. Turns out No Official Time they usually choose the time zone of whoever gives them food. T heir supply base. Basically, down here, there's no official time zone in Antarctica. This is the only continent on Earth without one. But I went there because I wanted to know what's really hi ding under the ice. To find out, follow along.
