Since version 2.0 the poles count as unsafe terrain for land units and
triremes. So triremes are prone to sinking when near the ice (as well as on
the high seas).

You will find this information in the help --> terrain --> arctic but it is
not very prominent, and not mentioned in the NEWS file (but is in
