According to the Manila Observatory:

"The simple answer is that the southern polar region is colder and more isolated than the north. Lower temperatures favor the formation of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) which serve as platforms for catalytic ozone breakdown. Unlike the Arctic, the circulation over the Antarctic is more persistent and vortex-like as a consequence of having less land. Air inside the vortex is prevented from mixing with warmer, ozone-rich air from lower latitudes. This vortex is not a feature of the Arctic. IOW, the chemistry of ozone loss works in both poles, but their meteorological conditions are different."

Location of holes in the ozone?

Holes in the ozone layer are primarily located over Antarctica and the Arctic regions. These holes are caused by the presence of ozone-depleting substances, like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere. Efforts to reduce the emission of such substances have helped in stabilizing and, in some regions, even healing the ozone layer.
