do you mean midsummer in the northern hemisphere, or the southern hemisphere??
if its the north, then the southern side would get less, and vice versa..

If you mean misummers day in the Northern Hemisphere, then anywhere south of about 84deg South is in solar darkness on that day. NOT 66.5deg South, the Antarctic Circle: between there and 84deg there will be at least some twilight, and thus some solar radiation.
Just as an aside, "Midsummers Day" and the summer solstice (in the Northern hemisphere) are not quite the same thing; Midsummers Day is June 25, the Solstice is on or around June 21. The difference is one of many odd quirks that crept into the calendar due to earlier innacuracies before we switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar.

it really is the Southern Pole in the course of the summer Solstice which receives smallest volume of sunlight, of direction. elementary, both poles get the smallest volume of sunlight when compared with different lattitudes, no matter if sporadically they get 24 hours non-supply up.
