We present results on the SMC from the first full season of the Michigan/CTIO Magellanic Cloud Emission-Line Survey, being carried out from CTIO. Images are being obtained in Hα, [S II] λλ 6717, 6731, and [O III] λ 5007, plus red and green continuum bands for star subtraction. Data from the 1996–97 season have been assembled into large mosaic images which reveal the rich variety of nebulosity in the SMC in unprecedented detail. These are providing definitive samples of the active, occasionally violent, ISM on scales including superbubbles, wind-blown bubbles, supernova remnants, H II regions, and planetary nebulae.
