SCP 8001 is a EUCLID Class anomaly also known as The Edge of the World.

SCP-8001 is the edge of the planet Earth. The geological, geographical, or ontological origin of SCP 8001 is unknown, and its existence in spite of the obvious and scientifically verified spherical shape of the planet exists as a logical impossibility that serves as the primary academic goal of researchers assigned to SCP8001 . SCP-8001 is not an extra-planar space or pocket dimension - research teams stationed at Site-99 on the island of Last Watch can be detected by GPS, can use satellites to make telephone calls or transfer information digitally, and have launched rockets or flares that are visible to persons who are not within SCP-8001's locality.

SCP-8001 exists as a sheer edge running north to south in the southern Pacific Ocean, over which the waters of the Pacific flow freely into an indeterminably deep void beyond. Approaches to SCP-8001 by ship are precarious - vessels can easily get caught in the rapidly moving water and be swept over the edge unless they follow a carefully charted path that maneuvers them past a series of shoals that break up the flow of water, which ends up in a sheltered bay at the island of Last Watch. This same passage can be made in reverse, allowing vessels to transit to and from SCP-8001 with relative safety, so long as they are following the correct passageway.

SCP-8001 creates a substantial amount of water vapor, which serves to obscure the vicinity around SCP-8001 from outside observation (SCP-8001 cannot be viewed from satellites or any other overhead camera, including those launched from within SCP-8001). It is not known how far SCP-8001 extends in the northern and southern directions, as any attempts to navigate away from Last Watch by ship inevitably ends in the vessel being swept over the edge of SCP-8001, and any attempts to do the same from the air will either become lost in or obscured by the spray.

Flat Earthers will use this as a reference in an arguement.

Please stop promoting better help, when they wete found to be actively selling protected medical data they should have lost thier business license.

The BetterHelp advertisement on a flat earth SCP video was just glorious

A lighthouse in the middle of no where with an old robot inside. This may be a Lego Ninjago reference.

I am so glad that this isnt a compilation

[wawawuu]

@SCP  You have demonstrated you're willing to listen to your viewers by reintroducing short-length videos. Please demonstrate you listen to our critical comments regarding BetterHelp, too, and sever ties with them.
"Therapy" by incapable "therapists" is a serious matter that can and does cause serious psychological damage.
Not to mention the whole "selling clients' information" thing.

I knew the Storm would pass. Good job, folks👍🏾

"Truthfully, doctor, I did experience one profound feeling when I saw that place. I realized the world is not nearly as big as I had once dreamt it to be."

"Yep. It's flat."

Honestly as soon as I saw series nine I read this SCP and was instantly fascinated with the concept, glad you've finally made a video about this SCP!

[a_french_guy]

Uhhh... Have they never heard of the probleme of better help ? They really should not be a sponsor

[bluntslt]

Hello scp Explained my friend thanks for another short video

[madamplatypus]

Seeing “Flat Earth” associated with an SCPE video now has me incredibly concerned for the fans who can’t tell the fiction from reality…

[rubyrubio]

Do a crossover with specter and cactus man

Maybe a day in life with Cain, cactus man, or lunatic

And maybe talk about scp 1690, 1810, 2040, 2331, 4455, and 4017

[Jack-me]

I saw someone called SCP Explained a content farm. I think he should be converted to a D-Class and experimented on 096. Who agrees?

[Idunnohowabout]

This is the first SCP in Series 9 they’ve covered

"Does that random Buff ass Researcher remind anyone else of Mythical Chef Josh?

This scp made has not got me worried about going on a cruise next week
