Two maps of earth from the arctic polar with an overlay color gradient indicating amount of O-zone. The gradient ranges from red to pale yellow, which up to blue. Red would be an "Ozone hole" and pale yellow an acceptable level and dark blue would be high quantities. The left image is labeled as March 2020 and the right from March 2024. The image on the left shows a pale yellow over the arctic, surrounded by medium blue shade and pale yellow around the equator. The image on the right shows the arctic in a dark blue that becomes gradually lighter before reaching pale yellow at the equator.
