Description
Summary:We review the status of the AMANDA neutrino telescope. We present results obtained from the four-string prototype array AMANDA-B4 and describe the methods of track reconstruction and neutrino event separation. We give also first results of the analysis of the 10-string detector AMANDA-B10, in particular on atmospheric neutrinos and the search for magnetic monopoles. We sketch the future schedule on the way to a cube kilometer telescope at the South Pole, ICECUBE
