Well, there is only 24 hours of light for 6 months and then 24 hours of dark for 6 months at the poles themselves.

Yes, if you are north of the Arctic Circle, or south of the Antarctic circle, then you will have at least one day a year of 24 hour daylight and one of 24 hour darkness. If you are right on the circle, you'll only have this on the two solstices. The closer you get to the poles, the more days of each you get. If you are right at the North Pole or South Pole, the sun only rises and sets once a year--you get 6 months of daylight followed by 6 months of darkness.
