Description
The Baikal Gigaton Volume Detector (Baikal-GVD) is the km$^3$-scale
underwater neutrino telescope designed for the study of high-energy
astrophysical neutrino flux. The Baikal-GVD sensitivity range extends from 100 GeV to multi-PeV neutrinos and beyond. The telescope is being
in its construction phase and presently consists of 64 strings
carrying 2304 optical sensors providing an effective volume for
high-energy cascade detection of 0.4 km$^3$. An overview of the detector
construction, the status and prospects of the detector deployment and
of the first results from partially built telescope is given in this
talk.
