Time now to answer our geo quiz....and it's about time.

We want to know how to tell what time it is in Antarctica, at the South Pole.

Shelley Kanuth works at the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center in Madison, Wisconsin.

She's spent time in Antarctica -- at McMurdo Station and at the Amundsen-Scott Research Base at the South Pole.

So what time is it at the South Pole?

"I get that question a lot and actually the way that they keep track of time at the two Antarctic stations, in McMurdo and at Amundsen South Pole station is, it's the same time as New Zealand time, and the reason it's the same time as New Zealand is because when we fly to McMurdo and South Pole, we originate flights from New Zealand and it's easier to keep track of flights if they're in the same time zone."

Most stations in Antarctica keep time that way.

The U.S. flies its resupply missions out of Christchurch, New Zealand.

So both the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station and McMurdo Station use New Zealand time.

Right now that's GMT plus 12....which translates as Greenwich Mean Time plus 12 hours.

But Kanuth says it can be confusing because Antarctica's time zones are set by the country that operates the research station.

"Italy, England, Argentina, Russia, China, Japan, the list goes on and on. They all have they own way of keeping time, it really is tricky, and it gets even trickier when daylight savings time begins because then you have to recalculate all over again."
