Is that called a "puffin" in English?
"Alke" in Norwegian?

Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica)
Lundi (Fratercula arctica) er fugl af svartfuglaætt, og af ættkvísl lunda.
Lunden (Fratercula arctica), også kjent som sjøpapegøye eller lundefugl, hører til alkefuglene.

They were sea parrots to fishermen until I came to Alaska. Found one in a big halibut one time...This place seems to be "puffin Mecca" - to tourists.

Ok, a easy one.

On which island could the house be?

I went there by ferryboat. This boat was built 1952 by Cantiere Navale Taranto. The engines are 1.600hp at 285 rpm. She is still in original condition and daily on duty.
Her name is the same as the biggest glass factory of her country.
