Island Peak |
 |
|
|
This is the most
popular trekking peak in Nepal. From
Dingboche the mountain is seen as an
island in a sea of ice. The summit is
interesting and attractive with a highly
glaciated west face rising from the
Lhotse Glacier.The mountain itself is
the extension of the South Ridge of
Lhotse Shar seperated by a small col.
The ridge rising to the south from this
point leads to the summit of Island
Peak. The extension of this ridge
descending south-west is the part of the
normal route of ascent and leads |
 |
|
to the South Summit. Imja Tse
not only provides an enjoyable climb but also
provides some of the most spectacular scenery of
Himalayas in the Khumbu region. Seen from the
summit the giant mountains, Nuptse (7,879m),
Lhotse (8,501m), Lhotse Middle Peak (8,410m) and
Lhotse Shar (8,383m) make a semi circle in the
north. The views of Makalu (8475m) in the east,
Baruntse and Amadablam in the south add more
charm for climbing Island Peak. |
