At the Antarctic circle, this period is one 24-hour period. At the South Pole, this period is six months.
Everywhere on the continent experiences some time with no sunsets, and the length of time varies depending on where you are on the continent.
Chances of seeing a sunset on the continent in December, however, are slim to none.

Yes, in Antarctica, there is a phenomenon known as polar night, during which certain regions experience continuous darkness for about three months. This occurs during the winter months (approximately late April to late August) when the sun does not rise above the horizon. The exact duration of darkness can vary depending on the specific location within Antarctica.
Antarctica is a polar desert, very cold, mountainous and extremely icy
Antarctica is the continent where the sun never rises directly overhead due to its location near the South Pole. This results in extended periods of darkness during the winter months and 24-hour daylight during the summer months.

Antarctica experiences 24-hour darkness during the winter due to its location near the South Pole. This phenomenon is known as the polar night and occurs for several months in the southernmost regions of the continent.
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.
During the polar winter, countries located near the North or South Poles, such as Norway's Svalbard islands or parts of Antarctica, experience periods of continuous darkness where the sun does not rise above the horizon for several months.
The same number of months as there are in each season anywhere on earth, about three.
During many of the summer months -- October to February -- parts of the Antarctica continent experience no sunsets.
During polar winters, the country that experiences no sunshine for six months is Antarctica. Areas within the Antarctic Circle are subject to continuous darkness for an extended period due to their extreme southern location.
Antarctica experiences six months of continuous daylight during the summer and six months of darkness during the winter due to its location near the South Pole.
