DEF

Île située non loin de la côte nord-est du Maine. Sur cette île, se trouve le Acadia National Park.

OBS

Les règles d'écriture en toponymie privilégient le respect du spécifique dans la forme officielle d'un toponyme. Il serait donc préférable d'utiliser la forme «île Mount Desert».

OBS

Le générique du nom d'une île prend la minuscule dans un texte suivi, et la majuscule dans une liste, sur une carte géographique ou un panneau de signalisation.
