Island Peak |
This peak offers an enjoyable
climb the peak, also provides some of the most
striking scenery in the Khumbu. 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
( 7879m/ 25850ft ), Lhotse ( 9501m/27870ft),
Lhotse middle peak( 8410m/ 27590ft), as yet
still unclimbed and Lhotse Shar ( 8383m/ 27503ft
). To the east, rising above the frozen waves of
the Lhotse Shar glacier, is Cho polu( 6734m/
22093ft ), beyond which can be seen the red
granite mass of Makalu ( 8475m/ 27805ft).
To the south of the Imja glacier and icy
flutings of Baruntse (7720m/ 25328ft) and the
Amphu peaks lead the eye to the lofty pinnacle
of Ama Dablam ( 6856m/ 22493ft ), which is liked
a giant sea – stack guarding the entrance to the
glacial bay in which Island peak stands. |
