Yet another confirmation of Noah's flood.
Did you know that the top of Mount Everest is covered with oysters and/or clam shells (one of those ocean bottom dwellers!)?

The world in some ways is like an orange. When an orange or an apple begins to dry it becomes smaller as the juice dries out the fruit becomes smaller. The skin can't shrink, so it wrinkles.
This is what happened, and is still happening to the earth. As it cools it shrinks. The hard crust wrinkles. If whale bones were in a spot that happened to become the high point of one of the wrinkles, it would appear that the whale swam there on top of the mountain.

I'm assuming these are not the bones of a recently deceased whale but rather more ancient remains. The theory of that sort of thing happening goes along with why I, a kid from mid-Missouri, regularly found crinoid (marine echinoderm) fossils. Millions of years ago it seems--though perhaps only thousands--most of what is now North America was covered in water.
Also, the Ice Age swept a great deal of debris from the North with glaciers, so whale bones could have been part of that debris and swept toward the mountain top.
Or, if you are of the creationist bent, then the best explanation would surely be Noah's flood.

The Great Flood.....Read Genesis chapters 6 through 8.

It would seem to offer fairly concrete (or maybe that should be calcium) proof of a major planetary deluge of the sort detailed in the Biblical account of "The Flood".

You didn't indicate if they were fossilized. If they were, tectonic shifts causing the mountains to thrust up. If not, who knows. That would just be playing into the religious debate that this is trying to start.

At one point that mountain was under water.
