Norad Santa Tracker: Follow Santa Claus live as he delivers Christmas presents.

US military personnel may have access to high-tech jets and drones, but they’re still revered as good saints.

“We know Santa has been doing this for 2,000 years. He’s one of the best pilots we’ve ever seen. … In his 2,000-plus years, he’s never had an accident,” 2nd Lt. Tyler Turnmire, with the 601st Air Operations Center at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida. told News station WSAW.

According to NORAD, Mr. Claus is currently over the Chile-Argentina border.

Santa may be looking for some R&R on his trip around the world, as NORAD is showing Santa’s sleigh near the Faroe Islands, an independent island nation within the Kingdom of Denmark.

In recent years the islands have become a tourist haven, hailed as one of Europe’s best kept secrets.

Don’t rest too long, Saint Nick, there are still plenty of gifts to give!

Santa Claus is on his way to Monrovia, Liberia, where he will deliver sacks of gifts to the West African nation’s 5.5 million people.

Liberia was founded in 1822 as an outpost for freed American slaves returning to Africa from American slavery. It eventually became a Commonwealth, and gained independence in 1847.

The capital, Monrovia, is named after the fifth US president, James Monroe, who supported the colonization of the area and helped fund its establishment.

Santa Claus is now on his way to Barcelona, ​​Spain. The Catalan capital is home to just under two million people – plenty of chimneys for Father Christmas to climb down.

Santa Claus leaves sacks of presents in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, on Christmas Day morning.

Sarajevo has a population of just under 300,000 and is surrounded by the majestic Dinaric Alps, which Bosnian Serbs used to besiege the city during the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

Santa Claus is now on his way to Luanda, the capital of Angola. It is a port city on the west coast of South Africa, home to about 9 million people.

Father Christmas has headed to South Africa to deliver his presents after leaving the North Pole earlier today.

He has just arrived on his sleigh in Johannesburg, a vibrant city of only six million. Now he’s on his way to Cape Town to drop off more gifts made by his crafty hardworking elves.

Santa Claus has landed in Jerusalem. The Palestinian town in the West Bank is the birthplace of Jesus Christ and home to the Christian Church of the Nativity.

The tradition began in 1955, when a child mistakenly called the Colorado military command to ask to speak to Father Christmas — after a local newspaper ran an ad for a department store with a misprinted phone number.

As more calls came in that night, Commander Shoup assigned a duty officer to continue answering the phone, sparking a tradition that has carried over to Norad since it was established in 1958.

Every year since then, the agency — which defends and monitors the skies in North America — has fielded children’s questions about the red-and-white chimney sweep and its erratic delivery schedule.

Santa usually starts at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean and travels westward.

So, historically, Santa first visits the South Pacific, then New Zealand and Australia. After that, he shoots to Japan, across Asia, to Africa, then to Western Europe, Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America.

“Keep in mind, Santa’s route can be affected by the weather, so it’s really unpredictable,” Norad explains on his website.
