Ark 2 is the only studio album by the short lived British rock band Flaming Youth.

It was released in October 1969 by Fontana Records, and was written and produced by the songwriting team of Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley.

Its concept, inspired by the media attention to the 1969 Moon landing, tells the story of man's evacuation from a burning Earth and its journey into space.

[1] The concept for the album and some of the songs were reworked into the rock opera for BBC1, co-written with Melvyn Bragg, Orion.

[citation needed] Despite the positive critical reaction, the album and single were not commercially successful and did not chart.
