Warmer air temperatures high above the Antarctic led to the smallest recorded seasonal ozone hole in 30 years. Satellite imagery shows that this year’s ozone hole has shrunk by 19.6 million square...
A mysterious hole as large as the state of Maine has opened up in Antarctica’s sea ice cover and it is baffling researchers. Antarctica is going through winter season these days. At this time of...
