Where is that one place on earth that doesn't ever get sunlight because of all the mountains?

Question

Last I heard was they were trying to put a huge mirror up to get some light.... where is it at? somewhere in italy?

Answer 1

Unlike the Moon, Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23 degrees to the plane of its orbit, so the Sun reaches all places on the surface at least part of the time during a year. The Moon however, is believed to have permanently shadowed craters at the poles, since its axis is not tilted, or not much anyway.

Answer 2

THE CURE FOR WINTER

A small village in Italy is trying to find over $100,000 in order to build a mirror that will deflect sunlight into their main square during the dark winter months. No really ... the town of Viganella is located at the bottom of a very steep-sided Alpine valley and receives absolutely no sunlight between Nov. 12 and Feb. 2 each year. "It's like Siberia," complained one resident. To fix this problem the town's mayor has hired an architect to design a giant mirror to be built a few hundred meters above the town, in order to reflect sunlight falling on the mountain side and direct it down to the village's main square. The motorized mirror would sit on a track and follow the sun's rays throughout the day. "On a clear day this would produce five hours of sunlight in the piazza even in mid-December," claimed the architect. (BBC)

In November 2006 the town set up a giant, computer controlled mirror on the mountainside, a sheet of steel 8 m wide and 5 m high, in order that the village, located in a narrow valley, would get direct sunlight in the middle of winter.

Answer 3

caves. There are valleys in antartica. That dont get any sunlight for a few months but they will always get at least a few minutes of sunlight every day in the summer. That village does get sunlight in the summer. The above answer is therefore wrong.

Answer 4

Where did you get this information? Nothing NASA nor any other agencies online has any articles that refer to this. Sounds more like a X-File delusion.
