Island Peak was the name given to the mountain in 1952 by Eric Shipton’s expedition party who thought it to be reminiscent of an island in a sea of ice. It is also known by it’s Nepali name ”Imja Tse”. Island Peak is an extension of Lhotse Shar, and is located between the Lhotse and Imja glaciers, standing tall at 6,189m/20,305ft. We ascend by the standard route and although the summit can be reached in one day from base camp, we make use of a high camp for adequate acclimatization and preparation before the summit.
