Antarctica's ozone hole finally is starting to heal, a new study finds. After years of slow decline, the ozone hole blew up to its biggest size ever. "It was 'Oh my God, how could there be this record large ozone hole'?' To me at least it resolves the mystery of the 2015 Antarctic ozone hole," University of Maryland atmospheric scientist Ross Salawitch, who wasn't part of the research, wrote in an email. Now it is actually getting better, not just stabilizing, based on new observations using different methods to measure the ozone layer, Solomon said.
