The ridge rising to the south from this point leads to the summit of Island Peak . The extension of this ridge descending south-west is the part of the normal route of ascent and leads to the South Summit . Imja Tse not only provides an enjoyable climb but also provides some of the different spectacular scenery of Himalayas in the Khumbu region including the Mt.
