Why Palmer has its own time
Antarctica spans 10 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. Palmer covers palmer and is 15 hours behind McMurdo, which is the zone most people mean by “the time in Antarctica”.
Palmer does not observe daylight saving, so its offset from UTC never moves. Its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead.
