Default World sunshine hours table

So given that its one of the dryest locations on earth, and I'm led to
believe that cloud cover isn't a frequent issue. I imagine its in with a
strong chance of being the most sunny location on earth, rather than the
least sunny as the afore mentioned website states.


Alex, according to these figures for 2000, the South Pole had 65% of
possible maximum sunshine hours, so about 2850 hours. While that isn't
close to the sunniest, it's certainly "up there" and as you correctly
say, not the least sunniest at all.
