It is widely assumed that the ventilation of the Southern Ocean played a crucial role in driving glacial‐interglacial atmospheric CO2‐levels. So far however, ventilation records from the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, are widely missing. Here we present reconstructions of water residence times...
