Requirements
Permissions and credits
Oldrim version here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/79265

Update: Added ESL versions

Version 1.2:
Added snow details to bones and surrounding objects. Added no crashed airship version.

What the heck are Snow Whales?
The Snow Whales are a species of whales that flew above Skyrim's clouds, jumping mountaintop to mountaintop, and were often hunted by the Nords for meat, blubber and rosewater.

They are from this story by Michael Kirkbride, one of the old ES lore writers:
https://www.imperial-library.info/content/fight-three-snow-whale-and-dirtbird

Plus, they got a mention in ESO: Dragonhold! They're still out there!

And please understand, I do not care if this isn't "lore friendly", "canon" to you. If you don't want them, don't download this. Simple.

What does this do?
This mod adds seven spots that you could find snow whale bones. Five of these spots have more stuff around them. Two of them are just bones. None of the locations have map markers, but if you know how to see your coordinates, you can see them in the spoiler below.

With version 1.1+, the bones now have unique collision boxes, and are split into more parts. Thanks go out to Jboyd!

Locations:
There are seven locations.
They do not have map markers, but if you have a way to see coordinates you could find them at:

Otherwise, look around yourself! You are sure to come across at least one! Let me know if you want more info!

Help!
Anybody have suggestions on what to add, fix, or improve? Let me know! I'll be glad to hear you out!

Reccomended:
Beasts of Tamriel, It adds living snow whales! Though you can't kill them, they are still quite the sight!

Conflicts:
None so far. If you any, let me know! I might patch it.

Future plans:
More locations? No ideas so far.
More Detail? No ideas so far.
Whalebone weapon? Don't know where to put it.
Whalebone Meadhall? Don't know where to put it.
