The South Pole Station at 2:48AM. As the earth rotates, the sun stays at the same elevation above the horizon. The highest it will get will be 23.5 degrees above the horizon on the summer solstice, December 21st. In March, the sun slowly sets for the entire winter, and it doesn't rise again until September. At the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica.
