Track Santa's journey tonight with Google and NORAD

24 December 2008 15:00 GMT / By Verity Burns

If you're one of the non-believers out there, or fancy keeping an eye on Santa's progress tonight as he travels the world dishing out presents, you simply need to log on and check out one of the Santa-cams online.

Google has once again teamed up with NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, to bring you the NORAD Santa Tracker.

NORAD provides aerospace warning and control for North America 365 days a year, and on Christmas Eve, they turn their attention to Santa, tracking his yearly gift-delivering journey from the North Pole.

The Santa Tracker is live now, meaning you can track him both on Google Maps and Google Earth, as well as view videos of his flights over several landmark cities captured by special "Santa cams".

Will he be paying a visit to your house?

  • Wonderful, I saw that my son's present had arrived in Osaks and received an e-mail confirming this. Keep up the good work I am eagerly awaiting his arrival in Yorkshire. Not withstanding I will soon be reaching three score years and ten I have never stopped believing in Santa and the magic of Christmas.
