Abstract

Arguments are given which show that the evidence for a hot gaseous halo around the Large Magellanic Cloud is not at all conclusive. The observations of interstellar lines in the UV, optical, and radio domain are well represented by a kinematic model of the LMC with a warped, two-layer structure.
