Metal Print : Satellite map of Antarctic ozone hole, 1987
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Satellite map of Antarctic ozone hole, 1987
Satellite map showing a severe depletion or " hole" in the ozone layer over Antarctica on October 2, 1987. The hole is probably due to pollution of the atmosphere by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). First seen in 1980, the " hole" has grown in severity. It reaches a maximum in October, the Antarctic spring. It is visible here as the white & pink area covering Antarctica (outlined in white) & beyond. Australia, southern Africa & part of South America are also outlined. The colours represent Dobson units, a measure of atmospheric ozone. The map was made from data obtained by the Nimbus-7 weather satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a satellite map of the Antarctic ozone hole in 1987, revealing a distressing depletion or "hole" in the protective layer of ozone over this pristine continent. The image, taken on October 2nd, vividly illustrates the severity of this phenomenon caused by pollution from chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) released into the atmosphere. Initially observed in 1980, this ominous "hole" has progressively worsened over time and reaches its peak intensity during October, coinciding with the Antarctic spring. The photograph portrays Antarctica as an expanse covered in white and pink hues, representing areas where atmospheric ozone is significantly reduced. The outline of Antarctica is clearly visible amidst this disheartening display. Additionally outlined are regions such as Australia, southern Africa, and part of South America that also bear witness to the impact of this environmental crisis. The colors depicted on this map correspond to Dobson units - a metric used to measure atmospheric ozone levels. This invaluable visual representation was created using data collected by the Nimbus-7 weather satellite. As we reflect upon this thought-provoking image captured by Science Photo Library, it serves as a stark reminder of our responsibility to address issues related to pollution and climate change for the preservation of our planet's delicate ecosystems.
