geography
The canal begins in the west in the Komebail Lagoon , where the Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge connects the two islands and specifically the settlements of Ngetkib Hamlet and Ngerbodel Hamlet . It moves to the southeast, where it widens to a small lagoon east of Koror and then continues south. The islets of Ngeream , Garreru , Ngedert , Omelochel on the northeast side ( Airai ), as well as Ullemetamel , Itelblong , Ordachel on the west side ( Rock Islands ) together with the adjacent reefs ( Omekang Barrier Reef ) form the boundary in the south of the channel.
