No. Atmospheric pressure in Antarctica is about the same as it is anywhere else. Air density is actually greater than it is on most places because it is cold. However, the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere is much less over Antarctica. This is because the dynamics of the atmosphere concentrate man-made compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) there. The CFCs act as catalysts that break down ozone into diatomic oxygen (O2).
