Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) was a pilot project and forerunner of what today is IceCube – the world's largest telescope for cosmic neutrinos.
The AMANDA telescope for high-energy cosmic neutrinos was constructed between 1995 and 2000 deep down in the ice sheet at the Amundsen-Scott base at the South Pole, Antarctica. The scientific goals are, among others, to use the neutrino particles to investigate the question of the “dark matter” of the Universe and to search for the sources of the highest energy cosmic rays.
