NICMOS on the HST is playing a relevant role in understanding the properties of near-infrared super star clusters (SSCs) and the associated younger population of giant H II regions. Giant H II regions and SSCs represent the dominant mode of recent star formation -- younger (a few million years old) and ``older'' (≃
3-500 Myr), respectively. In particular, Paα (λrest = 1.87 μm) observations together with radio observations offer us an unprecedented view of the truly youngest (high-mass) star-formation activity, as it is plausible that a large fraction of the youngest SSCs in galaxies are hidden by dust in their natal H II regions. We will summarize recent results on the properties of near-infrared SSCs and associated giant H II regions in nearby starburst galaxies and LIRGs.
