* All times are local time for South Pole. They take into account refraction. Dates are based on the Gregorian calendar.

The June solstice (winter solstice) in South Pole is at 8:24 pm on Sunday, June 21, 2026. In locations south of the equator, the shortest day of the year is around this date.

Why is the earliest sunset not on the winter solstice?

South Pole has polar nights in June.
