The ozone hole in/over the Antarctic was discovered by...

Hello.

I found the following sentence:

The ozone hole in the Antarctic was discovered by...

Is it correct? Or perhaps should I say 'over' instead of 'in'?

I don't think it makes any difference whether you say 'in' or 'over'. Enough people these days know where an ozone hole would be located with respect to any geographical location, so fussing over the preposition is not particularly worth the trouble. CJ
