I believe the answer is:

south pole

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'remote location' is the definition.
'South Pole' can be an answer for 'location' (South Pole is an example). I am unsure of the 'remote' bit.

'very unusual hut provides roof for european' is the wordplay.
'very' becomes 'so' (both can mean 'extremely').
'unusual' is an anagram indicator.
'roof' indicates taking the first letters (the letter at the top of the word).
'for european' becomes 'ole' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The first letter of 'provides' is 'p'.
'hut' anagrammed gives 'uth'.
'so'+'uth'+'p'+'ole'='SOUTH POLE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for south pole that I've seen before include "gets very cold!" , "Goal of explorers" , "Antarctic" , "Amundsen got there first, before Scott" , "to which Scott came" .)
