Scientists have uncovered a surprising connection between Earth's opposite poles that may help explain how the planet plunged into past ice ages.

This cooling may have disrupted Southern Ocean circulation, allowing the ocean to absorb and store more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, further cooling the planet.
