The ozone hole over the Antarctic has reached its peak this year and has become one of the largest holes of recent years.
Various measures have been introduced to reduce the hole since ozone depletion over the Antarctic continent was first spotted in 1985.
They include the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the ozone Layer, which restricts ozone-destroying halocarbons.
Although experts are optimistic that the hole has slowly been recovering, Clare Nullis from the World Meteorological Organization is warning people to remain committed to protecting the ozone layer.
"The Montreal Protocol which effectively phased out ozone eating substances, it is one of the most effective successful environmental treaties of all time. We cannot, however, be complacent."
The ozone hole begins to grow at the start of the Antarctic spring in August and usually reaches its peak around October.

Scientists are predicting that the ozone hole in spring will become smaller and recover as a seasonal event.
