The largest ozone hole ever documented above the North Pole has closed almost as quickly as it formed.
The hole formed earlier this year and reached its maximum size in March some 11 miles above the surface of the Earth.
It was the largest ozone hole ever documented over the Arctic, beating the previous record holder, which was observed during the 2011 winter.
