"To our knowledge there are no studies concerning UV-B effects on penguins. As their eyes are exposed to a lot of UV due to the high reflectivity of snow and a marked enhancement during the ozone hole, investigation into the impact on penguins is desirable. The fact that penguins are visual predators, eating krill or fish in the water column, would make any eye damage an important issue for survival."

Which country is most affected by ozone layer hole?

The ozone hole extended to cover parts of South America, which extend further south than either Tasmania or New Zealand. Australia would be exposed only about the same time as South Africa. The ozone hole forms in areas that are not exposed to UV-C from the Sun, and expose areas to UV-B radiation that cannot arrive from the Sun. So the real problem is the general depletion of the ozone layer that causes the ozone hole to be large... not the hole itself, or even perhaps the area it exposes.
