Moreover, you will also pass the secluded Kongma La Pass and Chola pass. The best season for climbing Island Peak is during spring (March-May) and autumn (Oct-Nov). In 1953, Eric Shipton's group named it Island Peak since it looks a lot like an island in a sea of frost when viewed from Dingboche. And it was only in 1983 that the peak was renamed Imja Tse.
