The interstellar medium of LMC2, a well studied supershell in the Large Magellanic Cloud, has been probed in UV and optical absorption lines. The data allow to derive the kinematics, abundances and depletions of gas clouds in this supershell. The relative gas-phase abundances of observed elements with respect to sulphur are useful to determine the origins of the supershell absorption-line clouds.
