Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in Hα emission (MCELS survey; Winkler et al. 2015) in red color scale. The two clouds (SMC-C1 and SMC-C2) detected in H I emission (ASKAP; McClure-Griffiths et al. 2018) and targeted in this work are shown in blue color scale. H I contours (blue) are at ﹩(1.0,2.0)\times {10}^{19}﹩ cm⁻² (SMC-C1) and ﹩(1.5,2.5)\times {10}^{19}﹩ cm⁻² (SMC-C2). The red box denotes the star formation regions (NGC 371/395) from where the clouds could have been launched.
