I’m probably not the most isolated, but:
Nearest gas station: 6 miles
Nearest neighbor: 1 mile
Nearest center of population: 20 miles (pop 143)
No cable (eh, I don’t watch tv anymore, so it doesn’t matter)
Lots of trees… Cold most of the time…
Not much to do.
Thank god for the sdmb!
tisiphone, doncha think working for the Evil Empire[sup]TM[/sup] disqualifies you? I’ll bet you’re even a townie.
magic8ball lives on an island in the middle of Vee Lake, about 10 km from Yellowknife. Past Giant Mine, up toward the Ingraham Trail. She can’t even see any roads from her house - unless it’s winter. I think YK is also smaller than Whitehorse, last population I heard was approximately 17,500. And all of them chilly.
I have no idea whether I count, but currently living in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Define ::: isolated ::::, and then we can get somewhere.
There isn’t a Starbucks where I live.
You live in the distant past?
Apparently. 
So, what do I win?
Its 12 km to the dock from Yellowknife and tehn 4 km by Boat.
Great fun, I assure you.
I always find it strange that those who live in towns with 10,000 or more people think they live in the middle of nowhere in tiny towns. I lived in a town in New Jersey where the population was 900. Now that’s small (for New Jersey).
There was a baby boom, and now we’re up to almost 20 000!
Its weird though, I mean, Yellowknife is the captital of the Northwest Territories, and yet we’re so small!
And Yellowknife IS in the middle of nowhere… there is exactly one road leading out of it, and for about a month a year you can’t get farther then 3 hours away because the ferry is out and the winter road isn’t in yet.
I live in a small town in rural Mississippi – pop. 1,300. And they’re all related to me. How’s that?

I have no pizza delivery in my area.
Depends where you are in Siberia. Siberia actually has some pretty honkin’ big cities in it. I sponte the summer once (not winter, thankfully) in Novosibirsk, and they have a million and a half people and a metro system. If you go to Vladivostok, your nearest decent-sized cities are probably in Japan.
Of course, if you go more than a few miles outside of Novosibirsk, there’s nothing but the Ob River and lots of flat land, occasionally punctuated by trees…
Well I live on Bribie Island, which although it sounds isolated is in the Brisbane street directory. Primaflora and Maxxxie at least, live in Brissy as well.
Mind you, living in Sydney can also be a very isolating experience 
I’m fairly certain I’m living in Mississippi in the 1930s.
Hmmm,
I’m in the central Colorado Rockies, not exactly isolated, but -
No mail delivery.
No UPS, FedX in the winter. Never tried in the summer, pretty much gave up on them.
No garbage pick up.
No cable, DSL ect. No natural gas, water, sewer.
Closest gas station is about 12 miles.
In the OP they mention researchers. As an Archaeologist I can be found quite far off the beaten path. Most recently I came back from a trip to Northern Africa, as seen in this thread. I had a great time, but after 3 months in the raging sun dealing with oil-workers, surly natives and a deadline only God could keep, I was ready to come home (Boston).
South Pacific, 48 degrees, 30 minutes south, 120 degrees, 30 minutes west… when I’m not zipping through space.
According to [Earth View]this site, that’s pretty isolated.
This site dammit.
