At the Antarctic Circle, this geography experiences one day of no sunrise/ sunsets each year. South of this line of latitude, the number of days increases to the maximum of six months at the South Pole.

True, if you're talking about the Northern hemisphere summer solstice, the one in June. In Australia and other places in the southern hemisphere, the "summer solstice" happens in December, and it's the ANTarctic that has the midnight sun. If you're right at the Arctic Circle - for example, in northern Iceland or places in Scandinavia - the day of the summer solstice is the ONLY day of 24-hour sun, and on that day the Sun will dip just to the horizon and then start rising again. Very strange, if you're tired and jet-lagged as I was the first time I was there....
The summer solstice happens. The summer solstice is also the winter solstice in the opposite hemisphere. On the summer solstice (on the northern hemisphere), the northern hemisphere is tilted most to the sun, giving 24 hours of light to the Arctic Circle and 24 hours of darkness to Antarctica on the day of it.
Just as it is - the first word and proper nouns are capitalized. "Would you rather live nearer the Tropic of Capricorn or the Arctic Circle?"
First of all, the Arctic Circle is the one at roughly 23.5 degrees North.It ... along with the equator, the Antarctic Circle, and the Tropics of Cancerand Capricorn ... are all parallels of constant latitude.
24 Hours of straight sunlight
The first summer sunrise in the Arctic is called the "polar day" or "midnight sun." This phenomenon occurs when the sun remains above the horizon for an extended period, typically lasting for several weeks to months, depending on the specific location. The first sunrise after the prolonged darkness of winter marks the return of daylight and is celebrated in various Arctic communities.
That completely depends on where you're located. If you're anywhere north of the Arctic Circle, the answer is zero. If you're at the North Pole, then on December 21, you haven't seen the sun in the past three months, and you won't see it for another three.

The USS Nautilus made the first undersea crossing at the North Pole in 1958.
Officially....on the 27th of June 1915 at Fort Yukon. Interestingly, the Kobuk Sand Dunes (which are 40 miles north of the arctic circle!) in Northwestern Alaska can exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, according to the National Parks Service website.
