|
|
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).
|
To the east, rising above the frozen waves of the Lhotse Shar glacier, is Cho Polu (6734 asl), beyond which can be seen the red granite mass of Makalu (8475 asl). To the south of the Imja glacier and icy flutings of Baruntse (7720 asl) and the Amphu Peak lead the eye to the lofty pinnacle of Ama Dablam (6856 asl), which is liked a giant sea – stack guarding the entrance to the glacial bay in which Island Peak stands. We invite you to join this beautiful high - mountain expedition.
