This is one of the most popular trekking peak in
Nepal . Perhaps the name of peak is so because from Dingboche the
peak 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 ridge rising to the south from this point leads
to the summit of Island Peak . The extension of this ridge
descending southwest is the part of the normal route of ascent and
leads to the south Summit. Imja Tse, another name of the same Island
Peak does not only provide an enjoyable climb but also provides some
of the most spectacular scenery of Himalayas in the Khumbu region.
View from the summit are 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 much more charming bonus in climbing
Island Peak (Imjatse). |
