There are numerous examples at
    http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/polar.shtml

Don't know why it won't plot ... this is done commonly

latLimit = 65.0

  wks = gsn_open_wks("ps","fisel") ; open ps file
   gsn_define_colormap(wks,"WhBlGrYeRe") ; choose colormap
  ;gray = NhlNewColor(wks,0.7,0.7,0.7) ; add gray to colormap

   res = True
   res@gsnPolar = "NH" ; choose hemisphere
   res@gsnMaximize = True

   res@cnFillOn = True ; turn on color
   res@cnLinesOn = False ; no contour lines

   res@mpLandFillColor = "grey" ; color of land
   res@mpMinLatF = latLimit ; adjust map limit

  ;res@cnLevelSelectionMode = "ManualLevels" ; set manual contour levels
  ;res@cnMinLevelValF = 0. ; set min contour level
  ;res@cnMaxLevelValF = 5. ; set max contour level
  ;res@cnLevelSpacingF = 0.5 ; set contour spacing

   res@gsnSpreadColors = True ; use full colormap
  ;res@gsnSpreadColorStart = 2
  ;res@gsnSpreadColorEnd = 97

   res@tiMainString = "FISEL"

   nt = 0 or whatever
   plot = gsn_csm_contour_map_polar(wks,remap(nt,{latLimit:},:),res)
