I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who would like this. :)
I've come across a couple of things which can make Leaflet do polar maps, e.g. https://github.com/GeoSensorWebLab/polarmap.js (Arctic, OSM-based) and https://github.com/lo-ise/leafarctica (Antarctica, imagery-based). There are examples of how they look at http://webmap.arcticconnect.org/polarmap.js/examples/PolarMap/geosearch/index.html and http://lo-ise.github.io/leafarctica/. I also found http://polar.openstreetmap.de/ (Antarctica, OSM-based) which isn't using Leaflet and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Antarctica/Creating_a_map which talks about creating tiles for polar maps.
The main problem I can see is that we can't use the existing map tiles for this. I assume we would need the people responsible for maps.wikimedia.org to add support for polar map tiles first?
