The AMANDA telescope is buried a kilometer under the ice cap, so I could not take pictures of it. Drawings of the detector can be found at the following link: AMANDA. The electronics that digitize the signals from the detector are housed in the blue building in this picture. There are other telescopes that are visible as well.
