Description
After a long period of development, high energy neutrino astrophysics is approaching a level of sensitivity which reaches below the upper bounds on extraterrestrial neutrino fluxes derived from the observed fluxes of cosmic rays and gamma rays. The day when first positive observations will start to populate the neutrino sky could therefore be close. The talk reviews physics goals and experimental status of high energy neutrino astronomy, with emphasis on results from the Amanda neutrino telescope at the South Pole.
