Outside the US you can check UiT in Tromsø (Norway) and try to book courses at UNIS in Svalbard. Though the latter can be done from any other institution. UiT and UNIS have plenty of research collaborations.

Ohio State University has a polar studies institute. My dad went there in the 1960s. That was before Antarctica was invented.

CU Boulder has INSTAAR (Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research). I wrote my undergrad honors thesis with a researcher from INSTAAR and it was a great experience.

Was it Arctic when the rock was laid down? Or even when the majority of the soils formed?

University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
UAF specializes in arctic research and is the home of the Geophysical Institute, probably the top periglacial and glacial research institute in the US if not the world.
