Spanish term or phrase: galería de una cueva
This is actually from a film synopsis.

En algunas galerías inundadas de la gruta continua, flotan postales e imágenes salidas del laboratorio.
and
La galería se angosta cada vez más, el agua cubre sus cuerpos.

Are these called galleries in English?

English translation:cave gallery
Explanation:
As nobody else seems to be posting, I might as well do it. "Galleries" is the appropriate term. It's also used to describe the tunnels left by borer (xylophage) insects like woodworm.
