Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 23rd of September every year. Sunset is on about the 20th of March the following year.
The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.

During the early and late portions of the six months of sun-down, although the sun is below the horizon, more or less light may nevertheless fill the sky, just as the sky anywhere else on earth stays light for some time after sunset.
