Tracking Santa 2011

Here’s hoping you’ve been good, because Santa is on his way. And now families across the world can see just how far Saint Nick and his reindeer are from their homes, thanks to a ‘Santa Tracker’ that follows his route around the globe.

The tracker – a collaboration between Google and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) – shows live footage of the sleigh passing landmarks including Big Ben, the Empire State Building and, of course, his grotto in the North Pole. It uses radar, satellites, Santa Cams and fighter jets to follow his sleigh, and can be seen online on Google Earth. Santa can also been seen on the Google Maps app on smart phones by typing in ‘Santa’ or on the NORAD Santa Site.

 

Below is a snapshot from the site.

Merry Christmas!!!
