High-resolution mm continuum observations are especially well suited to detect clumpy structures in molecular clouds. In this paper we concentrate on the Mon R2 cloud core which is associated with a cluster of IR sources. Walker et al. (1990) made a 1.3 mm map with 30″ resolution. They found an unresolved and elongated structure extending from NE to SW. Here, we discuss high-resolution continuum maps at 870 and 1300 µm showing a rich clumpy structure on the scale of several 10 arcsec. The clumps are probably intimately linked to the star formation process in Mon R2.
