Such would be an extraordinary event. Normally, an iceberg detaching from mainland Antarctica would be embedded in the (somewhat strong) eastward south circumpolar current (SCC), and would drift around the globe along the 50 parallel. It would have a hard time breaking thorugh the SCC and getting too far north along the Argentine Atlantic coast.
In fact,
the original article said they were spotted at Carmen de Patagones (some 1000 km south of Buenos Aires). Contrary to what the article states, these are chunks of ice from southern Argentina glaciers (located to the north of the SCC), not from Antarctica.
