The ozone layer is at its thinnest in Antarctica where it is so thin it is called a hole. Temperatures at the South Pole are less than -80 Celsius during winter. There is some thinning at the North Pole, which is warmer.

It is Thinist at the equator, Thickest at the poles.

It is thinnest once at year at the pole that is experiencing late winter / early spring. It is thinnest year round at the equator. It is thickest near 23 north or south latitude in the summer (on average).

Ozone layer thinning is most pronounced over the poles because of a no of factors some of which are:

1) The CFC's released by humans are carried towards the poles by the westerlies or the westerly winds where they cause ozone depletion.

2) the poles are the regions having low temperature and the ozone depleting reactions are only carried in temperature below -2o temperature that is on the polar stratospheric clouds. This attainment of temperature as low as 2o is only possible on the poles

The ozone layer is part of the stratosphere that absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun. It is thickest between 15 and 30 kilometers above the Earth's surface.
