hey, if ice breaks off and falls into the ocean - could it generate a tsunami?

Better yet - could it generate 'the day after tomorrow' scenario?

You bet.

At the end of the Ice Age...tsunami's were rampant from all the crashing ice.

The ice is already in the ocean, for the most part. The ice tongue appears to be connected to the continent, but much of it is already floating as well. But ,yes, ice breaking off a glacier (which is what the ice tongue is) can cause a Tsunami. There was a picture of that happening, or at least of the resultant local tsunami, on a show yesterday about tsunamies. It was somewhere in Alaska.
