Description
**mapbox-gl-js version**: `v2.9.0-beta.1`
**browser**: `chrome v101.0.4951.64`
### Steps to Trigger Behavior
1. Add a tileset similar to https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-tiling-service/examples/bathymetry/
2. Zoom in on the north pole

### Expected Behavior
Not sure if it's possible, but it would be great to see less abstraction at the poles.
### Actual Behavior

Research direction
Start with the linked CodePen demonstration and reproduce the behavior in mapbox-gl-js v2.9.0-beta.1 using a bathymetry-like tileset, then zoom in on the north pole. Investigate the globe view rendering path to determine whether the observed polar abstraction is a bug; done means the polar view shows less abstraction or the behavior is documented as expected.
