Marker at 90 degrees North, aka the North Pole
All directions point south when you’re here at 90 degrees North, aka the North Pole, and that’s the direction Santa is headed tonight. To follow him as he makes his rounds, try the NORAD Santa Tracker. The North American Aerospace Defense Command has been closely tracking Santa’s Christmas Eve route since 1955, when a magazine ad mistakenly posted the agency’s telephone number as a direct line to Father Christmas. When children phoned the number, NORAD staff played along and relayed updates on Santa’s location to them.
