Conclusions
HIPASS provides a monumental amount of information on the distribution of neutral hydrogen in the southern sky. The interaction of the Magellanic Clouds with the Milky Way has created striking features, and the structure revealed here will offer important clues as to the exact mechanism responsible for their formation. The resolution and spatial sampling of HIPASS also allow the first thorough investigation of the population of compact HVCs and their possible extragalactic nature. The sightline to the Sculptor Group is an ideal place to begin this investigation. Further studies in progress of both the Magellanic and compact HVCs include sensitive H
observations, higher velocity resolution HI observations, and optical and UV measurements to determine metallicities.
