Abstract: We determine the asymptotic behaviour of extremal length along arbitrary Teichm"uller rays. This allows us to calculate the endpoint in the Gardiner-Masur boundary of any Teichm"uller ray. We give a proof that this compactification is the same as the horofunction compactification. An important subset of the latter is the set of Busemann points. We show that the Busemann points are exactly the limits of the Teichm"uller rays, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence of Busemann points to converge to a Busemann point. Finally, we determine the detour metric on the boundary.
