Here is something anyone can work on as the moon orbits the Earth so a
unique place to see the phases evolve continuously for periods of the moon's orbit.

You can’t see the phases continuously for two reasons. It’s often cloudy at
the South Pole and the moon rises and sets. It will set on the 12th of May
and rise on the 25th. During these times when you can’t see the Moon from
the South Pole you can see the evolving phases of the Moon every day from
your own garden.

Won't dignify the 'cloudy' bit but unlike lower habitable latitudes, the moon's orbital motion is constantly in view for periods or days at the South Pole just as I mentioned in my previous post.
