Ozone Hole Over Antarctica Shrinks to Record Low
It now measures just over 5 million square kilometres.
This year, the ozone hole over Antarctica has shrunk to a record low over the past 30 years — it now measures just over 5 million square kilometres. In 2018, the hole was more than 20 million square kilometres, and in 2017, about 10 million.
Reports the BBC.
However, according to experts, the shrinking of the hole does not guarantee that it will continue to decrease.
