The ANTARES collaboration has recently demonstrated a rapid progress in the construction of the 0.1 km2-scale neutrino detector in the Mediterranean sea. At present the underwater setup consists of 5 active detector "lines" (of the 12 lines foreseen in the final configuration) and it is taking physics data with nearly nominal efficiency. Currently the atmospheric muon flux and its angular distribution are under intensive studies. Meanwhile over hundred upward-going neutrino events have been extracted from the largely overwhelming background originated by the downward going muons. Thus the concept and the design of the undersea experiment now appear to be confidently proved. The detector construction is to be completed in spring 2008.
