Fair question since it's a bit counterintuitive that the Moon could block the Sun in polar regions despite it's inclination never varying more than about 5 degree with respect to the elliptic but it's important to note that Earth has an axial tilt of 23.5 degrees and it's very far from the sun, which is enough for their relative angles to cause a polar eclipse. At least that's what makes sense to me.
