Gatun Lake levels are so
low this year that the view
in front of Barro Colorado
Island in August is what
we usually see in April, at
the end of Panama’s dry
season.

Este año, los niveles del
Lago Gatún están tan bajos
que esta vista frente a Isla
Barro Colorado tomada en
agosto, es lo que generalmente se puede observar
al final de la estación seca
en abril.
