For a little less than half the year, we had Sun at Scott Base, but that is over 1000km from the Pole. Very roughly, 3 months of all Sun, 3 months of all night, and the other bits some day, some night.

BTW, even in midwinter, it does not necessarily get completely dark, for there is still the Moon.

And one weird effect, was that going out on a sledge trip, and passing through the Moon shadow of some rock pinnacles, it felt as if it got colder! Rubbish of course, but that's how deep in our psyche good old Sol is.

So more directly to your question, it depends upon your latitude. If you type in your http bar "Daylight Hours" you should be directed to a great site ptaf.ca/soleil that presents you with graphs for any nominated place. I chose Mt Erebus, Antarctica.

Would daylight savings be useful to Antarctica?

Scientific stations in Antarctica usually operate on the local time for the government that they serve. There is no standard time in Antarctica. If the country headquarters is on daylight savings time, then so is the Antarctic base. However, when the sun is up 24 hours out of the day, there's not much value to the notion.
