Longest and shortest day in Grytviken
The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 17h 12m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 7h 18m.
Between them the day length swings by 9h 53m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:06 on 17 June; the latest is 21:02 on 28 December. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 03:46 on 14 December to 08:48 on 25 June.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Grytviken different
Clock noon and solar noon are 28 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:28 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
Light lingers for 36 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 12 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 54.3°S buys you.
Photographers get 73 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.8× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Over a year the sunset point slides 86° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 52 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 104 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Grytviken
Arrive by 16:28. Golden hour opens at 16:43 and the sun is down by 17:34, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 287° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
