Why Antarctica does not have daily changes in its light and dark patterns?
Antarctica has daily changes in its light and dark patterns. Some are quite visible, and others more subtle. Between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole, the difference in the length of time between sunrises measures from at least one day to 180 days at the South Pole. (At the Antarctic Circle, there is at least one day with no sunrise. At the South Pole, there are six months of days with no sunrise.) And the opposite is true about sunsets. In between those two points, there is a wide range of patterns of light and dark, depending on the season of the year.

Why Antarctica does not have a daily change in its light dark patterns?
There are daily changes in the light and dark patterns in Antarctica. The earth still spins and the height of the sun, moon and stars relative to the horizon changes each day.

When in the dark why do you see a torch light moving in a circle as a complete circle of light?
Found the answer myself. The eye will retain an image for about one tenth of a second, When the light moves fast enough the eye retains all of those images, we therefore see all of those recorded images of light as a complete circle.
