AH Challenge: War over the poles

With an earliest POD of 1920, create a situation were a fairly large scale war is held in and over the North Pole or Antartica.

Bonus points: If special tanks or other vehicles are used.
Double Bonus points: If the war is on both Antartica and the North Pole at the same time.

So resources seem the key to a war.....
 
If we avoided Nazism, and had the UK retain something of a hold over Canada, we could have a US/Canada/UK vs. Soviet Russia arena of conflict in the Arctic. It would have to be before the bomb makes conventional warfare untenable.

Just accelerate Global Warming, then watch the fight that develops over the Northwest Passage, and the mineral deposits in the Arctic Sea.
