Not so isolated
The article is wrong in stating that the Heard and Macdonald Islands are the most isiolated place in the world. That honour belongs to Bouvet Island, a Norwegian (yes!) dependency roughly half way between South Africa and Antarctica. It shares the honour of a dormant DNS domain (.bv). I remember lecturing a class of computer science students on the SMTP protocol and mentioning casually the existence of unused domains. When I got back to the office, via the staff bar, there was an email for me from Bill.Gates@microsoft.bv !
