Abstract
This paper is a brief review of the status of the search for astrophysical neutrinos of high energy. Its emphasis is on the search for a hard spectrum of neutrinos from the whole Northern sky above the steeply falling background of atmospheric neutrinos. Current limits are so low that they are beginning to constrain models of the origin of extragalactic cosmic rays. Systematic effects stemming from incomplete knowledge of the background of atmospheric neutrinos are discussed.
