At both poles, beyond about 66 degrees of latitude, there is at least one 24-hour period without a sunset/ sunrise, annually.

All of Antarctica lies beyond 66 degrees S, so the periods can be days, weeks or months without a sunset..

Predictably, everywhere on Antarctica experiences no sunset on mid-summer's day, which is December 21.

You could pick any date between about September 21 and March 21, and be fairly certain that south of the Antarctic Circle, you would experience no sunset.
