There are several ways that Atlantis might have existed:
1. The raised Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
2. Atlantis, like Surtsey, could have been one of the many volcanic islands "spit out" by the volatile Atlantic, then taken back at a later date.
3. Laurasia, this would imply a much older Atlantis, perhaps. There certainly is a "piece" missing from the continental plates between North America and Europe.
4. The water levels being lower during the Ice Age, Atlantis could have been simply a larger version of one of the island chains we still have in the Atlantic now - the Azores, Madeiras, Cape Verde, Canaries, etc.
5. An area of the Atlantic that takes in the Azores, Canaries, Madeiras all at once and may have been of continental size.
6. Cuba, along with a larger area of the Bahamas.
