Bulgarian term or phrase: подводен сифон
Колеги, помогнете с този термин.

„Понора” е една от най-големите водни пещери в България, с големи и просторни водни галерии, наситени с вторични пещерни образувания. Дълга е 3412 метра и във всички галерии тече река. Накрая завършва с един подводен сифон, който е достъпен само за водолази. Всъщност те преминават през него само веднъж – през 2001 година."

Благодаря предварително.

Reference: Личен опит

Reference information:
Моят личен опит в спелеологията (и в четенето на разнообразна информация по темата на чужди езици) показва, че sump е терминът за сифон. Ето някои референции:

http://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?topic=7056.0
http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/arb/scotland/assynt.html
http://www.rlaird.net/nesbitt.htm

Ето и още определения:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sump_(cave)
http://www.cavinguk.co.uk/book/index.php?chapter=15

Не че underwater (siphon) caves не се използва, но става дума основно за вида пещери... Но за да съм напълно честна трябва да кажа, че underwater siphon също се среща в смисъл на "подводен сифон", но значително по-рядко от sump. Това поне е моето мнение.
