30 Dor in the LMC and NGC 3603 in the Galaxy are the nearest visible examples of similar giant (or even more massive supergiant) HII regions being studied in other more distant galaxies, where spatial resolution is a much more serious problem. Hence, understanding 30 Dor and NGC 3603 may provide important clues to understanding extragalactic giant HII regions in general.
