Description
Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays are charged particles of energies above
10^18 eV that originate outside of the Galaxy. Their very small flux is
detected by the two giant experiments, the Pierre Auger Observatory
and Telescope Array, which extend over areas of 3000 km^2 in
the southern hemisphere and 700 km^2 in northern one, respectively.
I will review the observational results reported by these experiments
over the last decade and I will discuss the future perspectives to solve the
open issues in the field.
