All of Antarctica is south of 66 degrees S -- the Antarctic Circle. The circle marks the latitude beyond which there is at least one 24 hour period of no sunrise/ sunset per year.
Antarctica is found between 60 degrees and 90 degrees S. This means that depending on where you are on the continent, the hours of daylight during winter will be zero and the number of days with no sunrise/ sunset may vary from a few to six months.
Generally, depending on where you are on the continent, this period occurs between February and October.
