You call Australia not civilized? It's about 4000km to the west coast of Australia... which is much closer to Australia than Australia is to either North America or Europe.
I bet the fishing industry in Kerguelen could easily rival that in Iceland if there were enough fishermen/women there.
But the islands are tiny; it's probably harder to be self-supporting when it's that small.

Back in the 10th century? No, of course not. Even in the early 18th century, not really. Iceland has been one of the most 'civilised' nations for hundreds and thousands of years, with close proximity to other very civilised nations which have been the most civilised nations on earth for thousands of years..
Neither one is worth the price of a deck with 51 cards but I would choose Reykjavik for amenities that have nothing to do with climate.
