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. |
