The Antarctic Peninsula does not receive days of total darkness like other parts of Antarctica. This is because the ice shelf is gradually disintegrating as a result of warmer bodies of water being formed by the change of climate. With ice shelves disintegrating, Antarctic Peninsula is getting warmer.
Another Answer
All of the Antarctic Peninsula experiences periods longer than 24 hours of no sunrises. (Sunrise/ sunset is defined as the orb being visible above the horizon. Partial visibility does not qualify as a full sunrise/ sunset.) At Palmer Station -- 64.7742° S, 64.0531° W, for example, the sun is partially visible during solstice days in June for about four hours.
The Antarctic Peninsula is closer to the Antarctic Circle than is most of the rest of the continent. This also means that when the periods of no sunrise occur, the ambient twilight is brighter than it is farther south.
Note: total darkness is only available inside sub-terrainian caves.
