SCP - 1001
Object Class - Safe
Nickname - "The World's Key"

Containment Procedures: SCP - 1001 cannot be contained, but is to be monitored at all times. Site 47 located nearby is to watch the area, and send out a team of three (3) security guards, ten (10) D - Class Personnel, and three (3) researchers/scientists. The Expeditionary Squad is to proceed down the hole, locate the centre of the heart, and wind the clock located there all the way back twenty four (24) hours. Failure to do so will result in termination, and a new Expeditionary Squad is to be assembled.

Description: SCP - 1001 is a large hole in the ground that materialises and de-materialises around the south pole (See "Addendum #1"). The hole has jagged edges, almost as if someone had got a giant hammer and smashed a hole into the frozen ice. Inside the hole, is an ancient library, believed to hold the secrets of the galaxy. There are things like books, parchments, letters, documents, etc. Each text specialising in different things. SCP administrators have debated whether or not we should use SCP - 1001's knowledge to our own benefits, boosting the human race into a new era (denied)

Tests have been run to see what happens inside when the hole supposedly freezes over, (see Addendum #2) and Tests have also been run to see if "The World's Key" appears outside of the south pole (see Addendum #3).

Additional Notes: "Should SCP - 1001 fall into public hands, or worse, terrorist hands, then everyone would know everything about anything. Governments would collapse. Our own Foundation would be crippled, as terrorists and public will know everything. We'd have nothing left to hide. I hereby recommend this SCP be given a Euclid designation, and that the South Pole be sealed off from outside contact, to prevent such a catastrophic breach in our vault of secrecy." - SCP Administrator, Paula Gibbs.

"This is a quick note to the expeditionary team. Do not steal things from SCP - 1001, and claim that you are "Borrowing from the library". It isn't funny, and the power that place holds is unwieldable by mankind. Simply go down there, reset the clock, and proceed back up. And be quick about it too! Work as a team, and maybe you'll all go home for Christmas. But enough stealing!" Site 47 Director, Samuelle Marx.

Addendum #1: Tests have been concluded, stating that SCP - 1001 apparently cannot materialise overseas. This is beneficial to the foundation, as it limits the SCP to a confined area. However, the south pole is still quite big, and it may take a while to notice a hole the size of a regular household. Satellite surveillance feed is to be monitored as much as possible, and if SCP - 1001 materialises someplace else, the operator on duty is to report it to head of security.

Addendum #2: A security camera was attached to all ten (10) D - Class personnel, and the Security guards and Scientists/Researches evacuated the perimeter after the task was complete. After a period of two (2) hours, an alarm started ringing deep within the library. Soon, the hole began to freeze over, sealing the D - Class inside. The alarm kept ringing, and all ten (10) cameras became lightly distorted. A faint static appeared on the screens of the monitors viewing the cameras. The D - Class were instructed to go deeper towards the ringing sound. The closer they got, the heavier the static. Interference in the video feed didn't, however. Soon, the audio was so bad that the monitor's speaker systems were turned off. Fifteen (15) minutes later, the D - Class appeared to stop, frozen in their tracks. Each camera picked up each D - Class, and all of them were turning pale - white. Frost was forming on their orange jumpsuits. One camera, camera D - 5 , managed to catch a glimpse of an ice sculpture gaining on the D - Class' position. This Sculpture has been labelled SCP - 1001 - 1. Video Surveillance ceased, and the test was aborted.

Addendum #3: Refer back to Addendum #1. Additional note: Dr Treble Clef stated that, "The SCP may not be materialising and de-materialising, but instead sealing the lid and moving off to another area to be opened. Crossing the waters may cause severe flooding, damaging the manuscripts inside. Perhaps it is like a cat, afraid of water?"
