In early December 2010, the Panama Canal closed for only the third time in its 96-year history. Two artificial lakes linked to the canal, Gatún and Alajuela, reached their highest-recorded water levels, prompting authorities to close the canal for 17 hours. The canal reopened on December 9.
Lago Alajuela serves as a reservoir for the Panama Canal, which lies to the lake’s southwest. On December 17, 2010, several days after the canal’s temporary closure, the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite captured this natural-color image of Lago Alajuela. This image has been rotated so north is to the right. The canal lies off the top left corner of the image.
Torrential rains can erode soils, delivering heavy sediment loads to streams, rivers, and lakes. Ranging in color from dull green to tan, Lago Alajuela appears choked with sediment, contrasting sharply with the surrounding green forest.
Panama is accustomed to heavy precipitation. The rainy season lasts from May to January. The Panama Canal actually depends on huge quantities of water—each trip through the canal requires some 52 million gallons. Still, heavy rains in early December 2010 overwhelmed the region. The same rains that raised Lago Alajuela’s water level and filled it with sediment also forced thousands of residents to evacuate, washed out roads, and caused deadly landslides.

The highest point in Halifax, Nova Scotia. For more information, visit: www.halifaxtrails.ca/index_files/BlueMountainTrail.htm
Standing at the highest point on the island, the Amelia Island Lighthouse was built from bricks re-used from the Cumberland Island Lighthouse in 1839 on land purchased from Mary Fernandez. The 67 foot tall lighthouse has walls four feet thick at the base tapering to two feet at the top. It is the only dual-wall construction lighthouse remaining from Florida's territorial period. First lit by whale oil, the light is now a third order Fresnel Lens made in Paris and visible 15 miles. This lighthouse is the oldest, still operational lighthouse in Florida and is the westernmost lighthouse on the east coast of the United States. The first keeper, Amos Latham, was a Corporal in the 1st Connecticut Regiment in the Revolution.
More about this marker.
This historical marker is difficult to locate and even more difficult to see. To add to the confusion, in the immediate vicinity of the lighthouse there is a street called Lighthouse Lane that does not provide any access to the lighthouse or the historical marker, at least not that I could see. There is a gated entrance to the lighthouse property at the end of O'Hagan Lane, which is just north of the intersection of O'Hagan Lane and Lighthouse Circle. The gate appears to be locked most of the time and multiple "No Trespassing" signs are clearly posted. When you stand just outside the gate you can get a somewhat obstructed view of the nearby lighthouse, but the historical marker is completely blocked from view, being located behind the lighthouse. The only legal way to view the historical marker is to receive permission to tour the lighthouse grounds or to be there at the times when the lighthouse grounds are open for supervised tours.
