History
The first evidence of the existence of Clark was found during 1988 GLORIA side-scan mapping. These interpretations were later confirmed via photography and oceanic dredging in early 1992 during the 3-week Rapuhia cruise.{{Cite journal|last=Global Volcanism Program|date=1992|editor-last=McClelland|editor-first=Lindsay|title=Report on Clark (New Zealand)|url=http://volcano.si.edu/showreport.cfm?doi=10.5479/si.GVP.BGVN199206-241101|journal=Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network|language=en|volume=17|issue=6|doi=10.5479/si.GVP.BGVN199206-241101|issn=1050-4818|url-access=subscription}}
