The phenomenon you describe is only true at the South Pole. The sun sets on about March 21 and rises again about September 21.

There is plenty of light from stars and from the moon, but there is no sunlight for those six months.

Parts of the Antarctic Peninsula only experience a few days or weeks of no sunrise/ sunset. Again, there is plenty of light otherwise.
