Felly sgrifennodd Steve Loft :
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.

How sensitive are the sunshine recorders? The sun is of course always quite
low at the south pole.
