The annually occurring ozone hole over the Antarctic is one of the largest and deepest in recent years and reached its maximum size, scientists at the World Meteorological Organization announced.
As reported by abc news, It is at its “largest” and “deepest” in recent years, according to WMO, and was driven by a strong, stable and cold polar vortex, which kept the temperature of the ozone layer over Antarctica consistently cold.
