Screens set up to follow Santa’s journey across the planet at Norad’s Santa Tracking Center at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, USA.
One day a year, on Christmas Eve, the US military command Norad is traditionally open to the public. Follow Santa’s 51,000,000 km journey around the planet, in real time. This is done with the help of Norad’s Santa tracker, the so-called Santa tracker.
Norad, which is a military cooperation between the United States and Canada, tracks everything within American airspace on a daily basis and monitors airspace internationally, among other things, for possible nuclear weapons. And following Santa’s journey on Christmas Eve is a tradition they have done for 65 years. Something that was followed by about nine million people last year.
“By using the powerful radar and satellite system of the Northern Warning System, we can see the north better than ever. It allows us to track Santa more accurately than before so that he has a safe journey through North American airspace.” says Eric Kenny. commander in Norad, in a press release.
