March 10, 2026 — Episode 43 tephra covers Kīlauea Military Camp lawn

Detailed Description

Nearly 5 hours into episode 43 of the ongoing eruption at Kīlauea, the lawn at Kīlauea Military Camp was covered with about an inch of tephra (2 to 3 cm). The underlying grass was barely visible. The deposit included reticulite bombs (large foamy tephra clasts) mixed in with smaller denser lapilli tephra. USGS photo by N. Deligne.
