South Georgia follows Gulf Standard Time (GST). This means that if it is 16:00 GST (4 p.m.) during your holiday to South Georgia, it would be 14:00 (2 p.m.) in New York City, 19:00 (7 p.m.) in London, and 6:00 (6 a.m.) the following morning in the Antarctic South Pole. On an expedition cruise, the vessel often stays at Argentinean time (GMT –3) in order to avoid several time changes on board.
