✦ Synopsis

The IceCube neutrino telescope, a huge neutrino telescope with 1 cubic km instrumented volume, starts construction in 2004. The project status and the expected sensitivity and performance for detecting high-energy cosmic neutrinos are reported. The capability of EHE neutrino detection is also briefly mentioned.
