Australia has the second highest rate of skin cancer in the world. Narrowly eclipsed by New Zealand, both countries lie closer to the tear in the ozone layer than any other.

Australia has the highest rate amongst of skin cancer with gender combined and amongst Men but only the fourth amongst Women, with Denmark first amongst Women. There are some other weird anomalies too, like I understand Aus/NZ and the Nordic countries having the highest rates given their population density at the extreme latitudes and even Switzerland given its altitude, but Netherlands being so high, especially amongst men, seems odd. I wonder why Women in Denmark and Men in the Netherlands have such seemingly abnormally high skin cancer rates.
