Flóki Studios was created to share the inspiration, soul, and energy of Iceland.

The studio was named for the bold Viking Flóki, who followed the path of a raven to discover Iceland more than 1,000 years ago.

Around the year 868 AD, the Norwegian Viking Flóki Vilgerdason set sail to establish a settlement in Iceland. Legend has it that he made a pact with three ravens who joined his ship. Believing they would help him find land, he asked them to guide him on his way. At sea, Flóki set the first raven free, and it flew toward the rear of the ship. The second raven took to the air and flew off to the Faroe Islands. But the third raven flew out ahead of the ship with strong purpose, so Flóki set his course to follow the third raven. In time he found land; that land would become known as Iceland. Flóki settled and lived the rest of his life in our beautiful valley, Flókadalur - The Valley of Flóki.

Flóki’s story is Icelandic lore, and his use of ravens for maritime navigation earned him the name ‘Raven Flóki.’

Raven Floki

Raven Flóki’s story has inspired generations. He has featured in books, novels, and on television, and a monument in his honor was built in our valley, just upstream from our studio. We are proud to create our own tribute to Raven Flóki— a world-class recording studio where artists create and collaborate in a relaxed environment with outstanding gear and amenities, surrounded by the striking natural beauty of the Icelandic coastline which is there for artists to explore and enjoy. Whether it is marveling at the northern lights or getting the adrenaline going with rafting, surfing, hiking, biking or horseback riding… Flóki Studios offers artists an escape from the real world, inspiring creativity and friendship.

Flóki Studios offers a platform for artists to explore their passion on the edge of the arctic circle. Like Flóki, we have followed our own ravens here to help inspire those that inspire the world.
