For the fourth consecutive austral spring, the antarctic ozone hole broke existing records for decrease levels of ozone abundance. This article discusses the possible explainations including unusually low temperatures of the polar vortex, which may enhance ozone loss. UV increases at South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer Stations were also discussed in conjunction with the Ozone hole.
