There's three types of UV light, classified according to wavelength - UVA, UVB and UVC. The ozone layer absorbs almost all the UVB and UVC light. Ozone depletion is most significant over the polar regions, especially Antarctica and as such there is more UV light (of all 3 types) able to penetrate the atmosphere in these regions.
