The two experiments I'm talking about are are named the Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) and the Radio Neutrino Observatory - Greenland (RNO-G).
Basically we're looking for really energetic neutrinos by burying radio antennas (and readout electronics) in the ice. If a really energetic neutrino interacts in the ice, it will produce a particle shower, which, at really high energies (like > 10-100 PeV) will produce detectable radio emission. Since there is lots of ice both in Antarctica and in Greenland, we have detectors in both places.
