'For Antarctic wildlife, exposure to the Sun's damaging rays has increased in
recent years, scientists say.
A hole in the ozone layer - the protective barrier of gas in the upper
atmosphere - now lingers over the frozen continent for more of the year.
A major cause of ozone loss is believed to be the amount of smoke from
unprecedented Australian wildfires, which were fuelled by climate change.
The study is published in the journal
Global Change Biology.
University of Wollongong climate change biologist Prof Sharon Robinson told BBC
News: "When I tell people I work on the ozone hole, they go: 'oh, isn't that
better now?'"'
