President Thiers Bank is a broad^[2] guyot,^[3] which lies northwest of Rapa^[4] and 200 kilometres (120 mi) southeast of Raivavae,^[5] in the Austral Islands.^[4] Its summit reaches a depth of 33 metres (108 ft).^[6] It may have been created by the Macdonald hotspot.^[7] Another theory sees in the seamount the endpoint of an alignment that starts with Aitutaki^[8] and also involves one volcanic phase at Raivavae.^[5]
