Panama canal the Worlds most important waterway || Timelapse  

Panama Canal (Panama) Connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Panama Canal is a critical passage for international trade, allowing ships to avoid lengthy and dangerous routes around the southern tip of South America.
The Panama Canal (Spanish: Canal de Panamá) is an artificial 82-kilometre (51-mile) waterway in Panama, cutting across the Isthmus of Panama, and is a conduit for maritime trade. Canal locks at each end lift ships up to Gatun Lake, an artificial freshwater lake 26 meters (85 ft) above sea level, created by damming up the Chagres River and Lake Alajuela to reduce the amount of excavation work required for the canal, and then lower the ships at the other end. An average of 200,000,000 L (52,000,000 US gal) of fresh water are used in a single passing of a ship.
