You can't build anything useful or fun with slate in the arctic.

But you can set up low/zero g manufacturing on/near the moon, military installations, incredible observatories, and unique tourist facilities.

You can also set up space habs / moon bases for people to live in in the far future which would spread our bets as a species in a way that living in the arctic doesn't.
