Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.

∙ 8y agoIn the Southern Hemisphere, the Autumnal Equinox occurs on March 21. The sun sets on or about that day at the South Pole, not to rise again until about September 21.
The hours of daylight for that date, then, depends on the year involved in your query.
For example, in 2016, the sun was up all day of the 21st, and set on the 22nd at 8:02PM local time.

∙ 8y agoThe winter solstice on June 21 -- in Antarctica, called Mid-winter's Day -- is after the annual sunset, which occurs about March 21, and before the annual sunrise, which occurs about September 21.
There is no daylight on Mid-winter's Day at the South Pole.

Where do the sun sets for six months starting September 23?
North Pole 70% Sure OR South Pole 30% Sure Since the spring and summer months in the southern hemisphere begin at this time of year onwards, you would have to be at the North Pole, although I believe the total lack of sunrise and set is much less than a full six months. The days are very short, either side of the total night days. The other possibility is the planet Mercury where the nights are about that long.
