Their word for "Friday" means "Fasting Day," so I assume that food was an issue for many centuries. A volcanic eruption around 250 years ago killed off most of the crops and livestock and about 20-25% of the people. But the Gulf Stream warms the island, so I don't think it's ever been ice locked.
OK, I cheated and pulled up some old photos of my chronograph from another watch forum. You can see my name engraved on the rotor, too!
