ISLAND PEAK 6189 m - description |
 |
 |
|
|
Island Peak offers an enjoyable climbing and provides one of the most striking scenery in the Khumbu Valley. If the peak can be likened to an Island in a glacial sea, than the main land forms a semicircle of cliffs that rise in the north to the rugged summit of Nuptse (7879 asl), Lhotse (8501 asl), Lhotse middle(8410 asl), and Lhotse Shar (8383 asl).
