The quest for ultra high energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources requires detectors with huge effective volume and a long exposure time. The massive amount of clear ice at the South Pole makes it an ideal place for such experiments. I will review the importance and challenge of high energy neutrino detection, and present the high energy neutrino detectors at the south pole - past, present and future.
