2024 Antarctic Ozone Hole Shrinks to Seventh Smallest Size in Decades

The Antarctic ozone hole is on track to be fully repaired by 2066, with this year's hole being the seventh smallest since 1992. This improvement is attributed to the reduction of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) due to the Montreal Protocol and unexpected ozone influx from northern air currents. The hole, although smaller, still spans nearly 8 million square miles, highlighting the ongoing recovery efforts.
