How many hours of sunlight does the north pole get at the December solstice?
At the North Pole during the December solstice, there is 24 hours of darkness. This is because the axial tilt of the Earth causes the North Pole to be tilted away from the sun during this time, preventing sunlight from reaching that region.

Tricky question. The longest day of the year (summer solstice) usually falls on December 22 or 23 each year, the equivalent of the winer solstice in the northern hemisphere. However, this date also happens to fall during the monsoonal season, so there is a good chance that Darwin does not receive the most sunlight on this day each year.

What region on Earth experiences 24 hours of sunlight during the solstice occurring in December?
The time of the December Solstice, (some moment on a day roughly around December 22), is the moment at the center of a period of no-sunset for any place south of the Antarctic Circle, (about 66.5 south latitude). The farther south the place is, the longer the sun has already been up at the moment of the solstice, and the longer it will stay up after the solstice. If you're at the south pole ... the farthest south you can get ... the period of no-sunset lasts six months, from late September until late March.
