The Royal Navy's ice patrol ship HMS Protector has made a night-time
journey through the Panama Canal to Charleston in South Carolina
following a busy period in Antarctica. The ship took 7 hours and 38
minutes to make the 48-mile passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
The 18-metre-wide vessel travelled at an average speed of 7 knots
through the canal, which at its narrowest point measures 30 metres. The
picture shows the view from the bridge of HMS Protector. [Picture:
