Description
We review the arguments supporting the claim that the observation of PeV (E approx-gt 1015 eV) γ-rays from cosmic sources at the flux-levels recently reported, guarantees the detection of neutrinos by detectors with an effective area of order 1 km2. We emphasize the unique opportunities of neutrino astronomy as well as its multi-disciplinary facets touching astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, and particle physcis. At present we do not know of any cost-effective method to commission neutrino telescopes with O(1km2) effective area. We draw attention to the possibility of instrument Antarctic ice as a deep underground telescope detecting Cherenkov, radio of acoustic radiation from neutrino-induced electromagnetic showers
