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 separated 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.
