It does, as it is at the mercy of ocean currents.
The Arctic Ocean (The sea beneath the north Polar ice cap)
It is Alaska. The Arctic Ocean is the body of saltwater that surrounds the northern polar ice cap. The only US state to border the Arctic Ocean is Alaska.

The Arctic Ocean surrounds the Northern polar ice cap. As such, the only US state that it touches is Alaska, along the northern coast.
Two, north polar ice cap and south polar ice cap , the arctic and the antarctic
Mars Polar CapThe southern polar cap is larger and colder. It is composed of carbon dioxide (dry ice) while the northern is mainly water ice (which freezes at a warmer temperature, therefore the dry ice cap in the south is colder).
The largest ice cap on mars is the Northern Ice Cap.
Polar areas have frozen water. They are too cold to receive rain. The North Pole sits on an ice cap over an ocean. The South Pole sits on a glacier. So there is lots of water with little precipitation.
Sub-polar.
The Norwegian explorer, Fridtjof Nansen proved the Arctic was a deep polar ocean with a drifting ice cap in the late 1890's. Previously there were ideas that within the belt of ice, open shallow water, perhaps land surrounded the North Pole.
