Best Answer

Scientific stations in Antarctica usually operate on the local time for the government that they serve.

There is no standard time in Antarctica. If the country headquarters is on daylight savings time, then so is the Antarctic base. However, when the sun is up 24 hours out of the day, there's not much value to the notion.

What do Arizona and Hawaii do not participate in daylight savings?

Hawaii is relatively close to the equator with minor changes to daylight because of season. Daylight savings would complicate international business and tourists, with no added benefit. Arizona has determined the twice a year time changes complicate business operations without energy savings or any other benefit. Energy loss may actually occur because of increased use of residential air conditioning. Overall, daylight savings are not uniformly observed internationally. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time as the US does. Countries that observe daylight saving time do not all change their clocks on the same days or time.
