Santa Claus Address

Posted in Geek, Science at 9:12 am by David Bradley -- 4 Comments; add your comment

Santa Claus AddressNow that Thanksgiving, Black Friday, the Holiday Weekend, and Cyber Monday are over for another year, it’s time to start writing your letter to Santa Claus…

Of course, to make sure it reaches him, you’ll want to know his proper address, not just one of those scammy spammy addresses that say “North Pole”. As you probably know there are actually two North Poles and they never sit still. There’s the geographical North Pole, which is the point at the top of the world through which the earth’s axis passes, then there is the magnetic North Pole, which is quite variable and at several times in history has actually been at the South Pole.

Thankfully, NASA has done some satellite tracking and a little remote imaging to try and trace Santa Claus’ address and have come up with the goods. Check out their images and learn how to pronounce Santa’s zip code here. But, for our recent anonymous visitor who cannot click a link I’ll spell it out:

Mr S Claus
North Pole
H0H OH 0

    Hi David.

    The “zip” code looks strange because it is a Canadian Postal Code. Postal codes are letter number letter space number letter number

    so since the north pole is in Canada Santa would have a Canadian postal code. H0H 0H0 and they are zeros not “oh”s

    Canadian, ey?

    I suspect Santa’s real post code isn’t Ho Ho Ho at all, don’t you? More likely to be AC0 NP1 or something like that, surely?

    I heard recently that store Santas in the UK are to be banned from chuckling with a HoHoHo, because it sounds too sinister…

    Not half as sinister as some old duffer dressed as a fat elf, hiding behind a beard having little kids sitting on his lap and whispering how good they’ve been all year and what they’d like for Xmas…
