NORAD Tracks Santa's 24-Hour Worldwide Flight Today [Holidays]

[Field Nurse]

The North American Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD, is back at it again this year, tracking Santa's magical flight around the world this Christmas Eve and plotting it out on a Google map.
See photos of locales as Santa travels today, along with video—just click on the presents on the NORAD Santa tracker map. Googler Brian McClendon writes:

In addition to our "Santa Cam" footage, geo-located photos from Panoramio will be viewable in Google Maps for each of Santa's stops that don't include video. We've also included a few new ways to track Santa. With Google Maps for mobile, anyone can keep tabs on him from their mobile phones (just activate GMM and search for "norad santa"). You can also receive updates from "Bitz the Elf" on Twitter by following @noradsanta.

Santa's flight started at 6AM Eastern time (about an hour and a half ago), and you can also download Google Earth and track his movements with a special santa.kml file available for download here. NORAD Tracks Santa 2008 [via The Official Google Blog]
