Summary edit

Description
Ελληνικά: „Αργόν Πεδίον“, προσωρινή λίμνη στην κλειστή λεκάνη "Νεστάνη-Σάγκα-Polje", μήκους 4 χλμ., είναι μέρος της χωριστή λεκάνη του Τρίπολης-Οροπέδιου, μήκους 38 χλμ., που είναι μέρος του Αρκαδικού-Οροπεδίου. Αυτό το τμήμα του "polje" είναι κυρίως λειμώνες για εκτροφή αιγοπροβάτων. Το διαβρωμένο βράχο υλικό και μια πλουσιότερη βλάστηση στα βουνά έχουν πλυθεί απορροής, οι υποβαθμισμένοι θάμνοι σε ένα λεπτό στρώμα επιφανείας είναι αυτό που έχει απομείνει. Το όνομα Αργόν Πεδίον τεκμηριώνεται στο περίφημο «Ελληνδικής περιήγησις», ένα βιβλίο του αρχαίου γεωγράφου Παυσανίας (110-180 μ.Χ.). Ο Παυσανίας είδε ήδη την πλημμυρική πεδιάδα, παρόμοια με τη φωτογραφία.

English: “Argon Pedion”, temporary lake in a closed karst basin, “Nestani-Sagka-Polje” (length:ca. 4 km, separate part of the ca. 30 km long Tripoli-Karst-Basin in the Arcadian highland, Peloponnese).

This part of the polje is mainly grassland for herding sheep and goats. Soil, weathered rock material and a richer vegetation of the mountains have been washed down into the basin, degraded shrubs on a thin surface layer are what is left.

The name Argon Pedion (Greek for untilled plain) is documented in the “Description of Greece”, a book by the ancient geographer Pausanias (110-180 AD). Pausanias already saw the flooded plain, similar to the photo, but the look of the mountains might have been greener than today.

Deutsch: “Argon Pedion”, temporärer See im Karstbecken „Nestani-Sagka-Polje“ im Arkadischen Hochland. Die früher sicher vorhandenen Bodenschichten und Gehölze der Berge wurden in das Becken geschwemmt, übrig blieben kahle, nur von dürftigem Macchie-Buschwerk bedeckte Berge mit dem intramontanen Karstbecken.
Der Name Argon Pedion (Griechisch für „Faule Ebene“) wurde von Pausanias (110-180 AD) in seinem überlieferten Buch „Beschreibung Griechenlands“ geprägt, denn der südliche Teil der Ebene wird, damals wie heute, zuletzt 2019, oft überflutet.
