No. There is something especially peculiar about it: Anywhere south of the Antarctic Circle, the sun will stay up more than 24 hours during some part of the time between September 21 and March 21. The farther south of the Antarctic Circle you go, the longer that time will be. Right at the South Pole, the sun never sets during that whole 6 months. Of course, the other half of the year is even worse in the same places.
