It might look something like this:xxxxxxxxxxxuuuuuuuxxuuuuuuuxxuuuuuuuxxvuuuuuax========= is the equatorx is landmassu is waterv is an active underwater volcanoa your archipelagoThe rotation of the planet, and heat of the volcano pushes the hot water up to the colder north regions. There it cools and would ordinarily sink. But if the Northern and Eastern regions are mostly shallow waters, perhaps the heated water from the underwater volcano would be enough to push it round to your archipelago?Just speculating here, someone will probably come up with a better excuse. You do know that 10 million years ago there was ferns growing on Antartica, although it was in the same place as it is now? There was an island/continent that forced the cold water northwards, which sunk, so now the water just circulates the Antartic, making it very cool. Not to worry, My car and I will soon make it habitable again. That and Scandinavia...</blockquote>
