Item number: SCP one six nine.
Object class: Keter.
Special containment procedures: Because of its size, SCP one six nine cannot and almost certainly will never be contained.
No structure on Earth is large enough or strong enough to contain SCP one six nine.
The location of SCP one six nine is not precisely known, but imaging satellites and analyses of eccentricities in the Earth's orbit suggest SCP one six nine is located in the southern Atlantic Ocean, possibly stretching around the tip of South America (see Addendum 0-20).
Any satellite footage of a shift in the land masses produced by SCP one six nine is to be excised and destroyed by embedded agents.
Description: SCP one six nine is surmised to be a marine arthropod of enormous size, known as the "Leviathan" by generations of sailors and oral history.
Presumed at first to be a myth, SCP one six nine was detected on [DATE REDACTED], 19[REDACTED] by Mobile Task Force Gamma-6 during an investigation of paranormal activity around the [REDACTED] Archipelago (coordinates [REDACTED]).
During Gamma-6's investigation, Dr. [REDACTED] Gamma-6-0912 discovered the archipelago to have moved at least three kilometers from its original location.
Though initially Gamma-6-0912 believed this motion to be due to unusually quick continental drift, a reconnaissance mission performed by the USS [REDACTED] revealed the archipelago to be the protrusions of rock-like plates covering an enormous organic mass.
The Foundation was brought in immediately to begin threat management.
Gamma-6-0912 and Gamma-6-0421 estimate SCP one six nine's body length to be between two thousand and eight thousand kilometers.
No other specimens have been sighted.
Almost nothing is known about SCP one six nine's habits, such as its reproductive capabilities (if any), food source, and nesting area (if any).
Research regarding SCP one six nine is pending approval.
The islands of the archipelago have historically been uninhabited, though claimed by [REDACTED] in the eighteenth century.
Upon handover to the Foundation, [REDACTED] presence was evacuated on the pretense of rising sea levels.
Though the archipelago has remained above sea level for several millennia, any change of depth by SCP one six nine could result in the disappearance of the entire archipelago.
SCP one six nine moves slowly (less than one kilometer per week), but seems only to be adrift.
Any method of propulsion is unknown.
Regular seismic tremors seem to indicate "breathing" about every three months, causing minor shifts in the islands' terrain, suggesting that the creature is probably dormant.
Information suppression: The USS [REDACTED] was scuttled with all hands immediately after the discovery of SCP one six nine with the permission of the American government.
The public is forbidden from entering the archipelago created by SCP one six nine due to the conveniently large number of resident endangered bird species.
As indicated above, satellite footage is to be doctored in order to suppress knowledge of SCP one six nine's movement.
