Q: What does Santa and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) have in common?A: NORAD provides exclusive coverage of Santa's journey as he makes deliveries around the globe!
This very cool website makes it easy for those-of-us-who-believe to track Santa and his reindeer (including Rudolph) as they criss-crosses their way around the world delivering presents from the North Pole, past the Eiffel Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, Taj Mahal, and beyond.
NORAD has been providing this service for over fifty years and is staffed by volunteers each Christmas Eve who give us high-tech and low-tech options for tracking Santa as soon as he leaves the North Pole:
- download Google Earth (free) and find Santa and crew in 3D
- visit the website for tracking updates
- email the Command Center for Santa's logistics
- or even call the Center to speak with a rep for an instant update on Santa's global whereabouts
How in the world do they manage to track Santa so closely, you ask? With radar, satellite Santa-cams, and heat-seeking infrared technology (thanks to Rudolph's nose) of course.CLICK HERE to find out more on NORAD's Santa Track website. Be sure to check out the service's history and FAQs.
Smells like a new Christmas tradition.
