The UV spectra of HD 47240, a B1Ib star located behind the Monoceros Loop, was used to analyze the distribution and motion of interstellar matter in this region and to investigate the expanding nebula. Results reveal a galactic component that is related to the interstellar medium present in the galaxy between the Sun and the target star; a fast moving component that is linked to the receding part of the Monoceros Loop supernova remnant; and a peculiar component which is detected only in highly ionized species and has a rather high ratio CIV/SiIV. Comparison with other observations indicates that the Monoceros Loop is inside the Mon OB2 association and interacts directly with the nearby Rosette Nebula. This interaction is observed through the peculiar component. It is shown that the Loop is a supernova which exploded in a medium with density one tenth the standard.
