Atmospheric neutrinos produced in the Earth’s atmosphere constitute a source of neutrinos for the study of neutrino oscillations. IceCube has been operating with full detector geometry after complete installation in the 2010/2011 austral summer. It has sensitivity to atmospheric neutrinos over 10 GeV with the DeepCore subdetector, which is the low energy extension of IceCube. IceCube recently reported a new result of neutrino oscillation measurement which is compatible with other dedicated oscillation experiments. The evaluation of the systematic uncertainties in this measurement is summarized in this paper.
