Hrafna-Flóki

In front of Víkingheimar museum is a statue of the settler Hrafna-Flóki made by Mark J. Ebbert. The statue is carved in marble and was a gift from the Defense Forces to the Icelandic nation on the 50th anniversary of the Republic. The statue was unveiled in 1994 on a defence force tree planting day. Initially, the statue was in front of the old terminal at Keflavík airport until it was moved to Víkingaheim in 2010. The artist, Ebbert, lived in Iceland for a while with his wife, who worked as a naval officer for the defence force. 

Hrafna-Flóki Vilgerðarson appears in Landnámabók, The Book of Settlements. He was a Norwegian Viking who sailed west in search of a new land. He arrived in Iceland before the country was settled, together with a few men and his three ravens. They stopped for a while but eventually returned to Norway.
