Arrol Icefall (64°35′S 60°34′W / 64.583°S 60.567°W) is a steep icefall about 3 miles (5 km) long, originating on the south side of Detroit Plateau, Graham Land, about 8 miles (13 km) northwest of Cape Worsley. The 11-km long glacier featuring this icefall is situated southwest of Akaga Glacier and north of Aleksiev Glacier, and flows eastwards into Odrin Bay. The feature was mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1960–61), and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the Arrol-Johnston car, which was adapted for use by Ernest Shackleton's Nimrod Expedition (1907–09) and was the first mechanical transport used in Antarctica.

Er liegt auf der Südseite des Detroit-Plateaus in einer Entfernung von 13 km nordwestlich des Kap Worsley. Der Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey nahm von 1960 bis 1961 eine Kartierung vor. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte ihn nach dem britischen Unternehmen Arrol-Johnston, Hersteller des ersten Automobils, das in der Antarktis gefahren wurde. Zum Einsatz kam dieses Fahrzeug bei der vom britischen Polarforscher Ernest Shackleton geleiteten Nimrod-Expedition (1907–1909). (de)
