Tens of thousands of people worldwide are now following Santa’s journey from the North Pole to deliver Christmas presents to expectant children and adults worldwide. In any case, if you choose to believe the service Flightradar24’s map of the aviation world’s activities.
In order to catch up with all the world’s Christmas presents, Santa Claus and his nine reindeer, with Rudolph in the lead, maintain a speed of over 2,000 kilometers per hour at an altitude of approximately 18 kilometers above sea level. Unfortunately, it means that he cannot be seen with the naked eye, it is said.
The registered sled goes by the name “HOHOHO”, according to Flightradar24, and by noon on Christmas Eve it had already delivered over hundreds of millions of Christmas presents, according to North America’s bilateral military command, NORAD, where in real time can see Santa and the reindeer throw out the Christmas presents.
Santa is then expected to fly over Sweden
But he still hasn’t made it to Europe and Sweden. NORAD says that only Santa knows the route and that you cannot therefore predict what time Santa will come home to you.
Experts at the association say, on the other hand, that “Santa usually comes between 9 p.m. and midnight on Christmas Eve”, but on the authority’s website it is written, on the other hand, that Santa only comes when the children are asleep.
Tradition since the 1950s
NORAD has maintained the tradition since 1955 and originally came from a misprint in a department store ad that prompted a small child to call a military command center in Colorado, USA, asking to speak to Santa. The man who answered the phone played along and assured the child that he was the real Santa, which prompted more children to call in and after that the tradition has been kept.
Every year at least 100,000 children call NORAD to ask how far Santa has gotten, but millions usually follow the journey digitally.
