Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

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

Light lingers for 37 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 13 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 54.3°S buys you.

Photographers get 70 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.8× the 40 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 WSW.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 59 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 117 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Grytviken

Arrive by 17:55. Golden hour opens at 18:10 and the sun is down by 18:57, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-southwest — the sun goes down at 257° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 19:20 and runs to 19:34, the end of civil twilight and 37m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
