Is there any possibility that Carolina Bays could have been formed by a tsunami depositing huge icebergs, which then melted leaving these gouges, or if covered by inwashed dirt, leaving a depression?

Just a guess, but I would say it's unlikely because any icebergs would have had to been hugging the shoreline. Otherwise, they would just ridden it out, IMO.

I considered this possibility some years ago. The theory is enticing, but I had to reject it in light of what I discovered about how Carolina Bays are arranged on the land. See my post #119.
