The IceCube neutrino telescope nears the end of its second running season having collected a sample of over 2 × 109 triggered events. While the majority of these events are cosmic ray muons, the detector is already sufficiently well understood to allow identification of neutrinoinduced muon candidate events from the CR background. The production of optical module instrumentation is now well-established, the modules themselves are functioning properly with low failure rate, and it has been proven that the hot water drill can deliver the holes needed for deployment of these instruments. The project plans to deploy 12-14 strings each year during the next several austral summers to bring the detector volume to 1 km3.
