hey mate.. ☺
The ozone hole results from ozone-depleting chemicals (e.g. chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)). When CFCs are hit by ultraviolet light, they release chlorine. Chlorine reacts with ozone, destroying it to produce chlorine monoxide and diatomic oxygen.
These reactions are most effective when they occur on the surface of ice crystals, in the stratosphere. There are more ice crystals when it is most cold.
that's the reason why Antarctic region is facing ozone depletion on a large scale..
if you find me appropriate mark me as the brainliest.. ☺

How do fishes thriving in Antarctic water manage to prevent their body fluid from freezing
hey friend..
The key one to remember is that many fish that live in extremely cold water (not just around Antarctica) can produce a special kind of antifreeze in their blood. These chemicals are a type of glycoprotein, made from a combination of sugar and protein, that circulate the blood and prevent it from freezing. Fish such as the Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) have been found to produce antifreeze.
