It was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy in 1967 and surveyed from the ground by the British Antarctic Survey, 1968–71. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee after William Joscelyn Arkell, English geologist, a specialist in Jurassic stratigraphy and paleontology.
