| Summary: | The AMANDA neutrino detector has been in operation at the South Pole for several years. A number of searches for extraterrestrial sources of high energy neutrinos have been performed. A selection of results is presented in this paper. The much larger IceCube detector will extend the instrumented ice volume to a cubic kilometer and 9 out of 80 planned IceCube strings have been deployed to date. We present the status for both detectors. : 15 pages, 12 figures (included), LaTex, LaThuileFPSpro.sty (included), talk given at "Les Rencontres de Physique de la Vallee d'Aoste", March 5-11 2006, La Thuile (AO), Italy |
