No, the hole in the ozone layer is primarily located over Antarctica, not the North Pole. This seasonal depletion occurs due to the release of ozone-depleting substances, particularly in the cold stratospheric conditions found over the Antarctic during the Southern Hemisphere's spring. While there are some localized reductions in ozone levels over the Arctic, they are generally less severe than those observed in the Antarctic.
