  RICE is designed to detect ultrahigh energy (>100 TeV) neutrinos from
astrophysical sources. It will consist of an array of compact radio (100 to
1000 MHz) receivers buried in ice at the South Pole. During the 1995-96 and
1996-97 austral summers, several receivers transmitters were deployed in bore
holes drilled for the AMANDA project, at depths of 141 to 260 m. This was the
first in situ test of radio receivers in deep ice for neutrino astronomy.
