contents In the directed landscape, the Martin boundary coincides with the horofunction boundary. We show that functions in this boundary are precisely the eternal solutions possessing a spatial growth rate, and that the minimal Martin boundary is given by the Busemann functions. Moreover, every eternal solution can be expressed as a max-plus convex combination of countably many Busemann functions. Horofunctions are exactly those eternal solutions that admit a representation in terms of at most two Busemann functions with a common growth rate. As a consequence of instability, not all horofunctions are Busemann functions, and the Martin boundary is strictly larger than its minimal part.
