Even though Panama is smaller than South Carolina, it is as geographically confusing as a country can be. The country is shaped like a horizontal “S,” stretching from the northwest to the southeast. Ships transiting the Panama Canal from the Pacific Ocean actually travel northwest to reach the Atlantic Ocean. Being so close to the equator and due to the curved shape of the country, the sun rises in the east over the Pacific Ocean in Panama City.

Have you been through the Panama Canal lately? Here are some daily MPG files created from the Soo Cameras. You can probably see yourself passing by. Cameras 2 & 4 seem to be the best.
