But as a teaser, it’s something to do with this map showing time zones in Antarctica.

Antarctica sits on every line of longitude so theoretically Antarctica would be located in all time zones. However for practical reasons time zones are usually based on territorial claims – this means Ross Sea is in New Zealand time zone while East Antarctica and Sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island is in Australian Eastern Standard Time. This is perfect for all our Australian and New Zealand Antarctic travellers.
