Hrafna-Flóki Vilgerðarson

His story is documented in the Landnámabók manuscript; however, the precise year of his arrival is not clear.

[3] He was accompanied by his family on his journey; his wife was named Gró and his children included Oddleifur and Thjódgerdur.

From Western Norway he set sail to the Shetland Islands where it is said his daughter drowned.

[4][5] Others making the trip included Thorolf (Þórólfr) and two men named Herjolf and Faxe (Herjólfr and Faxi).

Waiting for the spring, Flóki hiked up the highest mountain above his camp, now believed to be Nónfell in Westfjords.

[3][4][5] Floki the boat builder, a character played by Swedish actor Gustaf Skarsgård in the History channel's Vikings television series, is loosely based on Hrafna-Flóki Vilgerðarson.
