Like the week between Christmas and New Year, time has no meaning at the North Pole https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/time-has-no-meaning-at-the-north-pole/?fbclid=IwAR0gte5jwgCz8wfDr6HmaB2mWzo_SsKTZnewEQ9fNEKvtErkbPVZSF-fq_0
“At the North Pole, 24 time zones collide at a single point, rendering them meaningless. It’s simultaneously all of Earth’s time zones and none of them. There are no boundaries of any kind in this abyss, in part because there is no land and no people.”
“The sun rises and sets just once per year, so “time of day” is irrelevant as well.”
“At Earth’s other pole, time zones are quirky but rooted in utility. In Antarctica there is land and dozens of research stations scattered across thousands of square miles. At most stations, permanent buildings house laboratories, living quarters and social spaces.”
“Each mini civilization has adopted its own time zone that corresponds with the home territory that built each place.”
