Year distribution of sunrise and sunset times in Vostok Station, Antarctic Plateau - 2026
The following graph shows sunrise and sunset times in Vostok Station, Antarctic Plateau for every day of the year.
Daylight Dawn & dusk (civil twilight) Night Solar noon
Earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in Vostok Station
In Vostok Station, the earliest sunrise of 2026 is on October 21 at 10:18 pm, while the latest sunrise is on April 22 at 9:10 am. The earliest sunset is on April 22 at 10:30 am, and the latest sunset is on February 21 at 9:11 pm.

Vostok Station Analemma
Due to Earth's tilted axis and slightly elliptical orbit, the Sun is never seen in the same position at noon in Vostok Station. Throughout the year, it slowly traces this figure-eight:
Move along the curve to read the Sun's altitude and azimuth for any day of the year in Vostok Station.
Over the year, the 12:00 Sun ranges from 13.5° below the horizon (around Jun 20) to 33° above it (around Dec 23) in Vostok Station. The smaller loop hangs at the bottom, the signature of a Southern Hemisphere analemma. For about 132 days around midwinter the whole figure sinks below the horizon — the Sun does not rise at noon at all. Notice the whole figure leans west of the meridian: over Vostok Station the Sun reaches its highest point between 09:36 and 10:06 depending on the time of year, but always before 12:00.
Detailed Analemma Chart
The technical chart below plots one dot per day, labels the first day of each month, marks the solstices, equinoxes, perihelion and aphelion, and draws the noon altitude of the equinoxes (90° minus your latitude) together with its ±23.4° seasonal limits.
Why does the figure look wider here than in the sky view above?
Both draw the same data, but with different conventions. The sky view uses the same scale on both axes, so it shows the analemma with its true proportions, as a camera would capture it: about 47° tall and only a few degrees wide. This chart, like most technical analemma diagrams, stretches each axis independently to fill the plot, expanding the narrow azimuth range several times so its day-to-day variation can actually be read. Also, azimuth is not sky distance: near the zenith, one degree of azimuth spans much less than one degree across the sky, which further widens the figure in this representation.
