Add to ORKG11 pages, 5 figures, Latex2e, one reference modifiedWe briefly review the status of cosmic ray studies between $10^{14}$ eV and the highest observed energies, namely a few times $10^{20}$ eV. Because of the rather low incident fluxes in this energy range, the studies mostly rely on ground based, large aperture detectors reconstructing the cosmic ray\'s properties through the detection of the air-showers they generate by interacting with the atmosphere. We stress the fact that many issues such as the chemical composition of the cosmic rays, their acceleration mechanisms, the structures displayed in their energy spectrum are mostly open questions which may be answered by the next generation of experiments
