You may be thinking of a period with no sunsets.
At the Antarctic circle, this period is one 24-hour period. At the South Pole, this period is six months.
Everywhere on the continent experiences some time with no sunsets, and the length of time varies depending on where you are on the continent.
Chances of seeing a sunset on the continent in December, however, are slim to none.

∙ 9y agoIt's night time in Antarctica at least one period every 24 hours.
If you mean the period of no sunrise, this period lasts at least one day at the Antarctic Circle and six months at the South Pole. The sun does not rise during some fall, winter and spring months, again, depending on your location.

At the extreme, at the Amundsen Scott South Pole research station, the sun rises around September 21.
Other locations on the continent will experience a different sunrise month.

What month is summer autom winter and spring in antarctica?
Good question...there are 6 months of light (Sept 22 - March 21) and then 6 months of darkness. So if you want to call 6 months of light the summer then there is your answer. In fact everyplace on earth receives exactly 6 months of light and 6 months of darkness although it is usually spread out throughout the year. Short days and long nights in winter and long days and short nights in summer, but a total of 6 months of each. Antarctica has all 6 months of light at the same time. From THEIR Vernal equinox to THEIR autumnal Equinox. This could be considered their summer hope it helps
