With an effective telescope area of order 10,000 meter squared for very high energy neutrinos, a threshold near 50 GeV and a pointing accuracy of 2.5 degrees per muon track, the AMANDA detector represents the first of a new generation of high energy neutrino telescopes, reaching a scale envisaged over 25 years ago. We describe the calibration of natural deep ice as a particle detector as well as AMANDA's performance as a neutrino telescope. We discuss its expansion to AMANDA II in the coming Antarctic summer and, subsequently, to a kilometer-scale detector ICECUBE.
