Summary

Description
Ελληνικά: καταβόθρα, καρστικo φαινομένο στο λεκάνη / οροπέδιο της Νεστάνη Αρκαδίας (Αργόν Πεδίον), Πελοπόννησος, Ελλάδα. Καθε 4-5 χρονια, οταν οι μεγαλες ποσοτητες νερού συσσωρευτηκαν η μπλοκαριστηκαν, υπηρχε κατακρατηση νερού. Οταν η ποσοτητα του νερού, ηταν πολυ μεγαλη, διμιουργηθηκαν λιμνες.

English: Ponor of the karstic Nestani basin, next to the villages of Nestani and Sagκa (small basin “Argon Pedion”, northeast of the huge Tripoli-Polje). The classic greek geographer Pausanias (geographer) (AD 110-180) mentions it as “Αργόν Πεδίον (Argon Pedion)” in part VIII of his traditional book ‘Description of Greece’. The plateau has no natural water outlet, which is a relatively frequent phenomenon in the Karstbasins of Arcadia (island of the Peloponnese in Greece).

When precipitation of winters is exceptionally rich, the basin is flooded, a temporary lake may result even nowadays. In such a case the ponor in this karst depression become vital.

Deutsch: Ponor des Hochplateaus der Orte Nestani und Σαγκας. Relativ häufige Erscheinung in Karstbecken (Hochebenen) Arkadiens (nordöstlicher Peloponnes, Griechenland).
Der klassisch-griechische Reiseschriftsteller und Geograph Pausanias (110-180) erwähnt die Ebene als „Αργόν Πεδίον (Argon Pedion)“ im Buchteil VIII seiner „Beschreibung Griechenlands“. In besonders niederschlagsreichen Wintern wird das gesamte Plateau immer wieder überschwemmt, so dass sich ein temporärer See bildet. Vgl. dazu auch: Image:Polje Argon Field.jpg.
