EST to AKST converter
AKST is 4 hours behind EST right now. Eastern Time is the clock in New York; Alaska Time is the clock in Anchorage.
Why the gap stays the same
Alaska and the Eastern zone both observe daylight saving on the same US dates, so Anchorage and New York keep a constant gap. Alaska’s far western Aleutian Islands, including Adak, are on Hawaii–Aleutian time instead.
