Panama Canal In Action!

Take a look at what's currently traveling through the Miraflores Locks at the Panama Canal!

Did you know that when traveling through the Panama Canal from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, you actually travel EAST?

During our studies of water forms, we viewed both cruise ships and container ships traveling through the Panama Canal. The canal is a twenty-four hour a day operation. The picture to the above shows container ships traveling at night.


Click on the picture to the left and you'll see a cruise ship travel through the canal via time lapse photography.
