Isolate is a mechanic introduced in both Jagged Earth and Promo Pack #2 (or Feather and Flame, since it contains Promo Pack #2). It does a few things.
1) Invaders do not Explore Isolated lands.
2) Isolated lands are not a source of Explorers.
3) As far as Invader pieces are concerned, an Isolated land isn't adjacent to anything... unless you want it to be. (This does not affect non-Invader pieces, such as Dahan or Blight.)
You can read a bit more on Insolate on the wiki: https://spiritislandwiki.com/index.php?title=Isolate
Some new Powers tell you to Isolate a land, representing the Invaders being mired, trapped, or
otherwise incapable of traveling. This has two effects:
1. Invaders do not Explore Isolated lands and Isolated lands are not a source of Explorers.
2. As far as Invader pieces are concerned, an Isolated land isn’t adjacent to anything... unless
you want it to be.
DETAILS:
• Isolate does not affect
From the Spirit Island Wiki: Isolate was first introduced in the Jagged Earth expansion as an added effect from certain new Powers, representing a land hard to travel to, from, or through. It prevents Invader Explore Actions, and prevents Invader pieces (Explorer/Town/City) from using adjacencies unless you let them. Isolate is a single-turn effect marker like Defend.

What does isolate mean? I currently only have the base game, I assume it's something from the Jagged Earth expansion?
