Connectivity could be easy. There's lots of extant subsea fiber connections in the Arctic region, because of satellite downlink stations there (polar satellite orbits are an easy way to guarantee revisits to the same Earth location, every orbit cycle). Fucking Svalbard, of all places, has 2.5 terabits of dark fiber, paid for partly by the USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Undersea_Cable_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Undersea_Cable_System https://spacenorway.no/en/what-we-do/operational-infrastructure/the-svalbard-fibre-optic-cable-connection/ https://spacenorway.no/en/what-we-do/operational-infrastruct... And the inverse is true as well: Starlink, the LEO satellite constellation, [edit: this is *no longer true*] spends the most loiter time and has the highest coverage, highest bandwidth, over the poles. I imagine you could plausibly get high-bandwidth, low-latency satellite backhauls from an Arctic datacenter.
