For over 60 years, NORAD has tracked Santa Claus’s Christmas Eve journey, starting with an accidental phone call in 1955. Millions worldwide follow Santa’s route online and via phone, creating a global Christmas tradition blending technology and holiday cheer. Advanced radar and satellite systems, originally designed for security, now track Rudolph’s glowing nose, allowing NORAD to share Santa’s location in real-time.
A warmer-than-usual Arctic climate is impacting Santa Claus’s home in Rovaniemi, Finland, raising concerns about the iconic Christmas experience. While the reindeer can fly, the lack of snow and the impact on reindeer herding are real issues highlighting the effects of climate change.
