Island Peak (6189) which is one of the more popular climbing
peaks in Nepal. Standing beyond Chhukhung and near the head of the
valley of the Imja Khola it is surrounded by glaciers. The views from
the summit are outstanding with Lhotse soaring above to its North,
Baruntse to the southeast with Makalu well to the east. The classic
route to the summit is the narrow North ridge but it is the southwest
ridge which is the most common route taken. It is a very popular
climbing peak and its first ascent was by members of the British
Expedition in 1953. The members of the expedition were Charles Evans,
Alf Gregory, Charles Wylie and Tenzing Norgay along with seven
Sherpas. Island Peak was named by Eric Shipton in 1952. When viewed
from above Dingboche the mountain does resemble an island in a sea of
ice. It was renamed Imja Tse in 1983 although most people still refer
to it as Island Peak.
