It appears in the northern sky moving from east to west, right to left, except when it fails to rise for a period in the winter. Near the antarctic circle this period is only a week or two, and it is longer at places further south, until at the pole it vanishes for almost six months.

No. There is something especially peculiar about it: Anywhere south of the Antarctic Circle, the sun will stay up more than 24 hours during some part of the time between September 21 and March 21.

Of course, the other half of the year is even worse in the same places. Anywhere south of the Antarctic Circle, the sun will stay down more than 24 hours during some part of the time between March 21 and September 21. The farther south of the Antarctic Circle you go, the longer that time will be. Right at the South Pole, the sun never rises during that whole 6 months.
