fosilna soteska / fossil gorge

Fosilna soteska je soteska, ki jo je v preteklosti izdolbla reka ali ledeniška voda, vendar danes po njej ne teče več stalni vodotok. Takšne soteske so pogoste na kraških območjih, kjer je voda poniknila v podzemlje ali pa se je po umiku ledenikov spremenil hidrološki režim.

Fossil gorge is a gorge carved out by a river or glacial meltwater in the past, but which no longer carries a permanent stream. These are often found in karst regions where water has moved underground or where hydrological conditions changed after glacial retreats.
