At the beginning of October, Antarctica has around 15 hours of daylight. From the end of October to the end of February you can enjoy the midnight sun on your Antarctic trip. From the end of February, the days quickly become shorter again.
While there are still around 18 hours of daylight at the beginning of March, it is only 10 hours of daylight by the end of March. On the other hand, in late summer, when the weather is good, you can admire fantastic sunsets in Antarctica.
In the Antarctic winter, the sun does not rise at all and there is a 24-hour polar night. However, no tourist trips to Antarctica will be offered during this period. The values given relate to measurements by the McMurdo Station. This is on Ross Island near the Ross Ice Shelf in the south of the Antarctic continent.
