Is all of Alaska on Alaska Standard Time?
Almost all of Alaska uses AKST, but the westernmost Aleutian Island communities — those located west of 169° 30′ W longitude — observe Hawaii-Aleutian Time (HST, UTC-10:00) instead. This exception reflects their extreme western geographic position, which places them closer in solar time to Hawaii than to Anchorage.
