I think it's really just a matter of opinion.

Would I like to live there forever? No way. Would I work remotely there for 3-6 months to explore a unique,bio diverse island? Hell yea!

As OP said, iceland is about as un biodiverse as it gets. I've been a few times and it's as close to the moon as possible. That said it is beautiful and kind of feels like....you're on a giant desert island surrounded by mountains that's very cold, and very expensive.

My secondhand understanding of Iceland is that the entire island is grazed by herds of domesticated animals. It's like a small, cold, remote version of Texas.

Well not quite, Antarctica is a bit closer.
