March 10, 2026 — Kīlauea episode 43 tephra on a car within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park

This car was parked within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, nearly 3 miles (4.7 km) east-northeast of north and south vents of the ongoing eruption of Kīlauea volcano. The photo shows about 7 hours of tephra fall accumulation from episode 43. The owner of the vehicle was careful not to use the windshield wipers until the tephra had been removed to avoid scratching the windshield. USGS photo by N. Deligne.
