All of the earth south of the Antarctic Circle experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise each year. The periods begin in the austral fall season.
The continent of Antarctica covers 10% of the earth's surface, and the number of 24-hour periods with no sunrise depends on how far south you are located.
At the South Pole, this period is about six months.
