The Arnel Bluffs are a series of rocky outcrops in Kempland, East Antarctica . They rise from a steep-walled and icy terrain in the south of the Leckie Range .
A sled team led by the Australian geodesist Graham Alexander Knuckey (1934-1969) recorded the formation in December 1958 as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions . The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named them after Royston Reginald Arnel (* 1927), assistant geophysicist at Mawson Station in 1958.
