DESCRIPTION:Measurements of neutrino oscillations at short baselines conta
 in an intriguing set of experimental anomalies.  One hypothetical explanat
 ion is that an additional\, sterile neutrino exists\, with a corresponding
  heavier mass state mixed into the active neutrino flavors.  In this talk 
 I will discuss a search for sterile neutrinos with the IceCube neutrino te
 lescope\, a detector made from a billion tons of instrumented ice at the S
 outh Pole.  In the energy range where this experiment is sensitive\, steri
 le neutrinos would introduce MSW resonant oscillations providing a dramati
 c experimental signature.  After presenting the analysis method the first 
 results of this search will be shown\, obtained using one year of data fro
 m the full 86-string IceCube detector.\n\n
