The IceCube detector, located near the geographic South Pole, is now the largest neutrino telescope in the world, with sensitivity in the TeV--PeV range. When complete, IceCube will consist of at least 70 in-ice strings and 140 surface tanks, and IceCube's predecessor, the AMANDA detector. Radio and acoustic instrumentation is also being deployed in the IceCube footprint to search for neutrinos in the PeV-EeV energy range. I will review the status and latest results from IceCube and physics prospects for the complete detector and radio/acoustic extensions.
