Scientists at NASA and NOAA found the hole to be nearly three times the size of the United States this year. Atypical weather conditions caused the Antarctic ozone hole to grow to an unusually large size in 2026, NOAA and NASA...
This year's ozone hole over the Antarctic was the largest in a decade, according to a new report by NOAA and NASA. This is a stark contrast to 2025, when the ozone hole ranked as the fifth smallest since 1992.
The ozone hole is at its largest in a decade, thanks to 'atypical weather conditions' over Antarctica, NOAA and NASA scientists have revealed.
NOAA and NASA said the Antarctic ozone hole grew bigger in the past year due to weather, but is still on track for its long-term recovery.
