Over the poles, the ozone layer is found to be the thinnest because of the high depletion rate at the poles. This depletion id due to the CFC's carried by the Westerly Winds towards the poles which are further initiated by the low temperature at the Extremes of earth.

Where do ozone holes form?
Ozone is a molecule made of 3 oxygen atoms. It is formed by the action of UV light on Oxygen high up in the upper atmosphere. Ozone filters out UV light from reaching the surface of the earth and thus acts as Earth's sun screen. Ozone is destroyed by the presence of man made CFC gasses in the atmosphere (propellants used for spray cans and as the refrigerant is fridges). The CFC gases destroy the Ozone and thus where the Ozone layer is thinnest (over the poles where the Sun's UV light is weakest) the Ozone disappears and a hole is formed.
