Ultracompact HII regions are signposts of massive star formation and their properties provide diagnostics for the characteristics of very young O stars embedded in molecular clouds. While radio observations have given us a good picture of the morphology of these regions, they have not provided clear information about the kinematics. Using high spectral resolution observations of the 12.8 micron [NeII] line, it has been possible for the first time to trace the internal kinematics of several ultracompact HII regions. We find that the motions in the cometary ultracompact HII regions MonR2 and G29.96-0.02 are highly organized. The velocity patterns are consistent with parabolic ionized flows along a neutral boundary layer.
