Why Palmer has its own time
Antarctica spans 8 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. Palmer is 16 hours behind McMurdo Station, 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.
