Why Mawson has its own time

Antarctica spans 8 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. Mawson is 8 hours behind McMurdo Station, which is the zone most people mean by “the time in Antarctica”.

Mawson does not observe daylight saving, so its offset from UTC never moves. Its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead.
