Large underground (underwater) detectors (such as 'Baikal' and DUMAND) are discussed for their possible use as gamma-ray telescopes. The signal is caused by high-energy muons (E, >~ 30-100 TeV) produced by the primary gamma-radiation in the Earth's atmosphere. The production of gamma-rays in the sou
