RCW 98 is an HII region with an active star formation in its immediate neighbourhood. At least three early-type stars ionize it and it contains the bright rimmed cloud. Our observations of this region in the optical regime shows that RCW 98 is a complex and dynamical region. We have created a simple model of the dust distribution in this object, but it is not fully consistent with the optical observations. We also study the effects of ionizing stars on the dust.
