President Thiers Bank is a broad guyot, which lies northwest of Rapa{{sfn|Maury|Guille|Guillou|Chauvel|2013|p=559}} and {{convert|200|km}} southeast of Raivavae,{{sfn|Maury|Guille|Guillou|Chauvel|2013|p=565}} in the Austral Islands.{{sfn|Maury|Guille|Guillou|Chauvel|2013|p=559}} Its summit reaches a depth of {{convert|33|m}}. It may have been created by the Macdonald hotspot. Another theory sees in the seamount the endpoint of an alignment that starts with Aitutaki{{sfn|Maury|Guille|Guillou|Chauvel|2013|p=558}} and also involves one volcanic phase at Raivavae.{{sfn|Maury|Guille|Guillou|Chauvel|2013|p=565}}
