Description
The IceCube detector, which is embedded in the glacial ice at the geographic South
Pole, is the first neutrino telescope to comprise a volume of one cubic kilometer. With
the construction of the detector being completed in early 2011, it now consists of a
total of 5484 optical modules. While its primary goal is search for neutrinos of
astrophysical origin, in conjunction with its surface component IceTop it also forms a
versatile cosmic ray laboratory. I will present the most recent results from data
accumulated during the construction phase with a focus on searches for electron
neutrinos, transient neutrino sources as well as cosmic ray observations.
