I saw this picture in an article about Panama preparing to evacuate first island in face of rising sea levels.

The article has many great pictures from the location, as well as some depressing one, like the homes ready to take in the inhabitants:

The island is GARDI SUGDUB, Panama

Check out the size, compared to the traffic on the road in front of it! 250 meters long! (aprox 270 yards)

Originally built in 400BC, and expanded in 144 AD to have a capacity of 50.000 seats! It hosted the first modern Olympics, in 1896 as well as a venue at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

The Corinth canal (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

an artificial canal in Greece that connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea

It is 6.4 kilometres (4 miles) in length and only 24.6 metres (80.7 feet) wide at sea level, making it impassable for many modern ships

The Corinth canal concept originated with Periander of Corinth in the 7th century BC. Daunted by its enormity, he chose to implement the Diolkos, a land trackway for transporting ships, instead

Construction of a canal finally began under Roman Emperor Nero in 67 AD
