  • 12/10/2000

Authorities have warned the residents of Southern Chile and Argentina's biggest cities not to go out in the sun during the day fearing the effects of the deepest and widest detected hole in the Antarctic ozone layer ever. One of the few areas in the world where people live beneath the hole in the ozone layer is feeling the effects of what the United Nations described as the deepest ozone hole over the Antarctic since records began 15 years ago.
