They do surface at the pole and have been since 1959.
The Sail of the sub is specially designed to be "ice hardened" and the sail planes (on 637 class subs) have an under ice position.
The trick is to use sonar to find thin ice and then the submarine very slowly increases its bouyancy to "break thru" the ice
