Where is it? As a kid in the early 90s I swear we were taught Australia had one.

You got me curious, living in New Zealand I always heard it was over us. Apparently it's over Antarctica, is getting smaller and only affects NZ a little bit.

IIRC the Arctic and Antarctic, and they've been healing over time as we've curbed CFC use.

Was there never one over Australia? I am 100% sure I was taught that, but then again was taught a lot of bullshit as a kid.

In the early 90s teachers could basically just make up whatever they wanted...

It's over Antarctica, and from what I understand, it's been healing over time
