And even if you did get a working system, an area with sea ice in the winter would probably destroy it.

That's an engineering challenge, either you design around the problem or that eliminates another set of potential generation locations.

Sea ice isn't insurmountable, you can submerge generators underneath it, but that needs a system that is self-contained and doesn't require maintenance in the winter. Probably not a solution for grid connections, but small scale for powering beacons or research tasks.
