I was curious what time it was there since there didn't seem to be much activity. Looks like McMurdo is on New Zealand time (GMT+13).

Yes, it's NZ time. Since most of their flights and logistics are through NZ it makes the most sense to use that time zone.

The sun just orbits and never sets. So any normal day/night cycles doesn't exist.

There are other (smaller) bases on the Antarctic peninsula. I don't know what timezone they use. Their supplies are coming in from Chile or Argentina.
