Scott notes that you could drive from Alaska to Argentina if it wasn't for this small patch of jungle called the Darien Gap, and says "This is Panama. I mean, they built the Panama Canal. They cut two continents in half. What makes it so difficult to get through this jungle?"
Although Panama is classified as a trans-continental country, it is officially on the North American continent but marks the point at which North and South America connect. On building the canal, a gap BETWEEN the North and South American continents was created, and no continents were cut in half.

When Scott is entering the cave, a crewman can be seen in the top right corner. Wearing a headlamp and moving their arm, they almost blend in with the background.
