Abstract

The advancement of instrumentation in sensitivity and spectral coverage has opened a new perspective on the ionized medium in galactic contexts. Studies in the Magellanic Clouds play a central role because of the external perspective. Classical H II regions are shown to be but the peak of the iceberg of an ionized ISM component to be present almost everywhere. The main bodies of H II regions themselves break up into subcomponents that are ionized, shaped and eventually dispersed by the energetic interactions of massive stars and their evolutionary products with the environment: UV radiation, fast winds and shocks from SN explosions. Spectroscopic evidence for shock ionized volumes of gas within the 30 Dor nebula is presented and discussed in the context of model nebulae.
