  1. No. There is no geologic evidence of a glacier ever reaching within a thousand miles of the Caribbean. Here in the northern hemisphere, glacial activity never made it past the latitude that New York is in.


  2. I could see an Ice burg, but not an entire glacier, it would hang up on the ocean floor and melt into small Ice burgs. The last time a glacier was in the Caribbean was the last ice age. and that's not a broken glacier

    Answer -- NO

  3. The further south it travels it will enter warmer waters and melt.

  4. very, very, very unlikely.

    the gulf stream would take it northeast, up past Iceland and Norway.

    there just is not a current that would carry it that far south.

    and it's just too warm in equatorial waters to allow one from Antarctica to make it that far north.
