The process by which chlorofluorocarbons catalyse the decomposition of ozone into oxygen is further catalyzed by the presence of atmospheric ice crystals, hence, this happens more over Antarctica, which is the coldest place on Earth and has the most atmospheric ice crystals.

A:This is a much talked topic that why the ozone hole hoe has been formed over Antarctica when there is no one there to release CFC's and most of the CFC's are released in the regions where there is no hole. The answer to this is a simple one. The CFC's released in the mid latitudes are carried by the westerlies towards the poles. These westerlies or westerly winds have their direction from the equators towards the poles from their path they carry the CFC'r which on reaching the oles destroy the ozone. Moreover another reason regarding this matter is that for the depletion of ozone the temperature required should be as low as possible. The ozone depleting reactions are only possible on polar stratospheric clouds i.e. PSC's which are formed only on the poles due to the low temperature there. Thus poles provide the optimum conditions for the ozone depletion to take place making that place suitable for the ozone depletion.
