NEW YORK — This year’s ozone hole over Antarctica was the fifth biggest on record, reaching a maximum area of 10.5 million square miles in September, NASA says. That’s considered “moderately large,” NASA atmospheric scientist Paul Newman said in a statement.
NASA has tracked the size of the hole for 30 years. Last year, it was 9.7 million square miles, about the size of North America.
