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.

During the summer months, Antarctica is tilted towards the sun, causing the sun to stay above the horizon for longer periods of time. This phenomenon, known as the midnight sun, results in continuous daylight for several months.
