Because the curvature of the earth means the sun appears lower in the sky from Chile, meaning it will drop below the horizon at night. At this time of year, because of the earth’s tilt, the further north you go, the more the earth’s curve affects the elevation of the sun in the sky, making it lower in the sky.
There was 17 hours of sun where they stayed before flying to Antarctica.
Thanks Phil, this explains stuff perfectly, there's only one problem there is no curvature to the earth.
