It depends on your location in Antarctica. Some parts of Antarctica are in the same time zone as the UK.

Antarctica is unique in that since portions of it are at every possible longitude, it actually encompasses every time zone.

In practice, each base establishes its own time, which may or may not be what you'd expect from its longitude. Halley, a UK base, uses GMT despite not being particularly near the prime meridian (about 26W, which should be GMT-1). Amundsen-Scott (at the south pole, where technically not only the time zone but the date could vary as you walked around the base) uses GMT+12, probably to keep in sync with McMurdo at around 167E which also uses GMT+12. Vostok at just under 107E uses GMT+6; Casey, at 110E, uses GMT+11.
