  Because of the limited size of the satellite-borne instruments, it has not
been possible to observe the flux of gamma ray bursts (GRB) beyond GeV energy.
We here show that it is possible to detect the GRB radiation of TeV energy and
above, by detecting the muon secondaries produced when the gamma rays shower in
the Earth's atmosphere. Observation is made possible by the recent
commissioning of underground detectors (AMANDA, the Lake Baikal detector and
MILAGRO) which combine a low muon threshold of a few hundred GeV or less, with
a large effective area of 10^3 m^2 or more. Observations will not only provide
new insights in the origin and characteristics of GRB, they also provide
quantitative information on the diffuse infrared background.
