The phenomenon you describe only happens at the South Pole -- 90 degrees S. Between the pole and the Antarctic Circle -- about 66 degrees S, there are different periods of no sunrise.
At the South Pole, the sun sets on March 22, 2016 and does not rise again until September 20, 2016.
Farther north, the sunrise and sunset days bound a shorter period. At the Antarctic Circle, the period is one of 24 hours in length, about June 21, 2016.
yes my cousin lived in anchorage for two years and the had 6 months of light and 6 months of darkness
Places within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles experience six months of darkness and six months of light due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the Arctic, regions like northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Alaska experience continuous daylight during summer (around late April to late August) and continuous darkness in winter (around late October to late February). Similarly, in Antarctica, areas like the Antarctic Peninsula experience the same phenomenon but in reverse seasonal timing.

Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd 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.
Countries located within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of Alaska, experience periods of constant daylight and constant darkness, known as the midnight sun and polar night, due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Well hello there, friend. What a delightful question we have here. In places near the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, such as northern Norway and Antarctica, you would experience constant sunlight in summer and continuous darkness in winter. Isn't nature beautiful with its unique gifts?

Thats what im trying to find out!!!!
Well friend, think of it as appreciating both the bright sunlight and the quiet night sky. In this special place, a full cycle would be one year long. Six months of beautiful light, followed by six months of peaceful darkness - truly a magical rhythm like brushstrokes on a canvas. Don't rush through it, savor every moment.
Fairbanks Alaska has 11 months of darkness per year, and 5 months of light/dark mix the rest of the year. Except during leap year, when Fairbanks only has 9 months total, and 7 of them are non-stop light, to make up for the eleven months of darkness.
The South Pole has about 6 months of continuous daylight from September to March, followed by about 6 months of continuous darkness from March to September. During the period of darkness, the South Pole has no direct sunlight for about 4 months.
Anywhere from 6 months on.
