The Elf on the Shelf is navigating Sea Blue Company to Christmas Island! Be back soon?
Christmas Island is an external territory of the Commonwealth of Australia. It has a population of 2,072 residents, who live mainly in settlements on the northern tip of the island, including Flying Fish Cove (also known as Kampong). The island was later named on Christmas Day (25 December) 1643 by Captain William Mynors, but only settled in the late 19th century. Elf says we will have a swell trip!
