Right at the South Pole- yes. Same thing applies to the North Pole. As you move away from the Pole, days and nights do get shorter/longer, but are still very different in length.
Another Answer
All of Earth south of 60 degrees South latitude experiences at least one 24-hour period where there is either no sun rise or no sun set. Antarctica covers 10% of the Earth's surface -- about as large as USA and Mexico combined. The duration of squential days or nights, with or without sun, depends on where you are on the continent.

Does antarctica have 6 months of day and 6 months of night?
Not all of it -- only a tiny region near the South Pole experiences 6 months of continuous daylight followed by nearly 6 months of continuous night. The North Pole has a similar division between day and night, each lasting one half of the year. However, practically all of Antarctica experiences at least 24 hours of continuous day or night, and weeks or months of continuous day or night occur in various locations. *Because of the width of the solar disc, and refraction by the atmosphere, there are about 2 or 3 more days of daylight per year than there are of night.
Why does the sun only rise every six months in the Antarctica?
In Antarctica, the sun disappears below the horizon during the winter months due to the tilt of Earth's axis. This phenomenon, known as polar night, can last for up to six months in Antarctica. During this time, the sun does not rise above the horizon, leading to continuous darkness.
Does it stay daylight during summer in Antarctica?

How many hours of daylight does Antarctica experience regularly?

How many daylight hours in Antarctica in January?
Commonly, the 'shortest day of the year' everywhere is the day when there is the least amount of direct sunlight. On Antarctica the 'shortest day of the year' may contain no sunlight, because the sun doesn't rise -- or set -- every day south of the Antarctic Circle.
How much sunlight does antarctic?
Antarctica has just two seasons: summer and winter. Antarctica has six months of daylight in its summer and six months of darkness in its winter. The seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis in relation to the sun. The direction of the tilt never changes. But as the Earth orbits the sun, different parts of the planet are exposed to direct sunlight. During summer, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted toward the sun and is in constant sunlight. In the winter, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted away from the sun, causing the continent to be dark. During the Southern Hemisphere summer (Dec 21 to March 22), the Antarctic continent south of the Antarctic Circle experiences at least one 24 hour period of daylight. At South Pole, there is no sunset for six months. During the Southern Hemisphere winter (June 21 to Sept 22), the Antarctic continent south of the Antarctic Circle experiences at least experiences one 24 hour period of darkness. At the South Pole, there is no sunrise for six months.
