Those who report about the ozone layer seem to concentrate on Antarctica, without ever mentioning that Mt. Erebus, a volcano on that continent, is spewing ozone depleting materials into the atmosphere on a continual basis.

Frankly, I'd be interested to find out if the cosmic rays, the absence or presence of which seem to be a major force in the warming and cooling of the planet, are also having an effect on the production of ozone in our atmosphere.

Antartica also lacks direct UV-light that creates O3.

Small wonder that there is a hole there, and it grows larger in their winter when the S. Pole is tilted away from the main source of UV-light.

(There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.)
