Around the Earth's poles there is a region called the Arctic or the Antarctic where there is a period of weeks or months during which the Sun never rises.
At places just beyond the Arctic and Antarctic circles the period is quite short, for example six weeks at Harstad, Norway which is 200km north of the Arcric circle. Near the poles the period is nearer six months.

During which season does the sun rise latest in the day?
The sun rises latest in the day during winter, particularly around the winter solstice, which is usually around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. At this time, the days are shortest and the nights are longest, causing the sun to rise later in the morning.
What area on the earth has seen the sun once and will never see it again?
The area on Earth that has seen the sun once and will never see it again is the location of the North and South Poles. Due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, regions within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles experience polar day (midnight sun) and polar night. When the sun sets at these poles during the winter months, it will not rise again for several months, making it a unique phenomenon of perpetual darkness. Once the sun sets at the poles during this time, that specific moment will never occur again.
Where is there no sunlight?

The sun appears to rise latest and set earliest in what seasons?
