In the summer in Antarctica, the sun shines the most and generally without any sunsets for weeks or months at a time.
SOUTH of the equator, summer comes not in the middle of the year, but at the end/start of the year- seasons are reversed from NORTH of the equator. In December, my family in the US would be skiing. My family in South Africa would be at the beach. Antarctica is as far South as you can go. During December, the sun will not set. During June, it will not rise.
