Everywhere south of the Antarctic Circle, the earth experiences at least one 24-hour period without a sunrise. At the South Pole, this period is six months. Everywhere on the Antarctic continent experiences some number of 24-hour periods without a sunrise: your answer depends on where you are on the continent.

Answer 2

Antarctica is as large as USA and Mexico combined, which means that it's dark for 24-hour periods for weeks or months, depending on where you are on the continent.

For example, at the South Pole, this period lasts about six months.

Answer 3

Your answer depends on where you are beyond the Antarctic Circle.

At the circle, there is one 24-hour period of no sunrise. At the South Pole, there is one sunrise per year, and one sunset per year: i.e., six months of darkness at that location.

Answer 4

Only one location on the continent fits this description: the South Pole. The sun rises and sets once per year there, meaning that for six months of the year, there is no sunrise.

Everywhere on Antarctica when there is no sunlight, however, the starlight and moonlight make visibility limited and possible. Certainly, this is a lower level of light, and cannot truly be called 'dark'.

On the calendar, however, a day in Antarctica is 24 hours.
