From Newsweek
Walt Meier, a scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center suggested that the circles may be a result of water washing over the snow and ice as seals surface for air. “Or it could be a sort of drainage feature that results from when the hole is made in the ice,” Meier told NASA.Read more: http://www.newsweek.com/arctic-ocean-nasas-operation-icebridge-mysterious-ice-holes-896488Related: Lyrid Meteor Shower 2018: How, When And Where To Catch The Peak Moment
Chris Shuman, a University of Maryland at Baltimore County glaciologist based at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center instead suggested the holes may be the result of warm water melting through the arctic ocean, either from warm springs, groundwater flowing from the inland mountains or from certain currents making its way to the ocean’s surface.At the moment, with only a photograph, what caused the holes will remain a mystery. At least until more information about the holes can be gathered.
What they aren't mentioning is the most obvious answer that these are entry and exit holes for a secret alien arctic space port. Then again maybe its just some random whales coming up for air and breaking through the ice like a submarine would.

Lots of possibilities really. That's the great thing about scientists, they won't claim they know until they have a clue!
I'm sure some religious types can come along and tell us God did it though!
