Svalbard is one of the northernmost places on the planet, being above the Arctic Circle. Since it is in the Northern Hemisphere, it experiences winter from December to March. For a part of winter, it is night for twenty-four hours a day north of the Arctic Circle. This has to do with the position of the Sun and the tilt of the Earth. This phenomena is known as polar night, and occurs in the Antarctic Circle during its winter months as well.

Why does it get dark around five o'clock in December?

In Patagonia it does not get dark at five o'clock in December. Indeed the time it gets dark in December is determined by your latitude North or South. The further north you are the earlier it gets dark. This is because the axis of Earth's spin is inclined in respect of the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun. In December the area round the North pole never gets light.
