How This Canal Is Changing the Map of Global Trade?

We explore the Panama Canal, follow a cargo ship through its locks, and learn how water is transferred to raise and lower vessels between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. We visit the artificial lakes, Gatun Lake, the surrounding rainforest, and the historic railway while tracing the canal’s construction and the challenges posed by climate change. We then follow the ship to the final locks and see how millions of gallons of freshwater are used to complete its passage.
