Abstract We have used Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to determine the O vi column densities in the Milky Way (MW) towards 6 LMC lines of sight. The mean column density of O vi in the MW is found to be log N(O vi)= 14.257 - 0.084 + 0.096 . The results confirm the patchiness of O vi absorption in the MW and the column densities are higher or comparable to the LMC.
