  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.
