What country has the thinnest ozone layer?

The hole in the ozone layer only occurs over the poles during the end of the winter at each pole. The only large thinning area occurs in the Antarctic. This is because of the long winter nights preventing the sun from making more ozone. Once the polar night ends, the hole repairs itself. The Arctic hole is referred to as the dimple by NASA because of the small thinning that occurs over that pole.
