On the right: Ozone Hole. On the Left: Ozone depleting Chlorine Monoxide.

For the first time ever an ozone hole has developed over the Arctic. It's taken scientists this long to analyze the data but about 13 miles up from the surface a hole developed this past winter like the ozone hole over the Antarctic. CFCs (Chroloflurocarbons) destroy the ozone, the ozone layer cools, more stratospheric clouds form & ozone destruction is much more efficient in the clouds...speeding up the proccess.
