Note also that, when you hover the cursor over the dots, Easter Island does not show a -6 time but a -5 time like New York.
Southern hemisphere, so they may be on daylight savings time at present.

It can't be Daylight Savings Time, because no region in the world is on Daylight Savings Time yet (DST begins 3/8 in the US, 3/29 in the UK, France and Spain, 4/5 in Melbourne, and Brisbane doesn't use DST).
Sydney (Australia) seems to be on Daylight Savings Time, though that will probably change soon as the southern hemisphere moves toward fall and winter.
