A large container ship has been stuck in the Suez Canal since Tuesday, after strong winds pushed it aground on one of the canal’s banks.

The 1,312-foot-long (400 meters) “Ever Given” is large enough to block the entire width of the canal, leaving hundreds of other vessels stuck at both ends.

The canal, which connects the Red to Mediterranean Seas, facilitates the passage of roughly 18,000 ships per year, or 50 ships per day.

Picture 1: Low-Angle Overview of the stuck “Ever Given”.
Picture 2: On-the-ground photo from current efforts underway to dislodge the ships from the canal’s bank.

Great Exuma is the largest of more than 365 islands in the Exuma district, with an area of 61 square miles (158 square kilometers).

Much of the water surrounding the Bahamas is shallow, letting more light reflect off sand and corals on the ocean floor to produce the beautiful light blue shades seen here.
