Antarctic winters are long and very cold with long dark nights that may last for weeks. The dark doesn't last as long as the summer light as there is twilight after the sun sets below the horizon and before it comes up again.

  • Climatologie
OBS

L'absence de soleil au-dessus de l'Antarctique, dans l'hémisphère Sud, entraîne des températures extrêmement basses et allonge de façon remarquable la nuit polaire.
