Time differences can be confusing, especially when considering remote regions of the world with few if any, permanent residents or human presence. The South Shetland Islands are no exception. The standard followed time on the South Shetland Islands is Chilean Standard Time (GMT - 3). This means that 12pm on the South Shetland Islands is 3pm in London, or 7am in New York City.

It should be noted that in several of the research stations located in the South Shetland Islands, different times may be observed for operational reasons. During your expedition cruise with us, you will follow the ship's time, regardless of your location. In Antarctica, this is Argentinean time (GMT - 3).
