The Ramban asks the same question about Mt. Olympus, and answers it, 
retaining the stand that the Mabul was global, with Eretz Yisroel being 
the sole possible exception--based upon a posuk in Navi.

And one wonders what coverage of earth 40 straight days and nights of 
rainful, and "maaaynos ha'aretz" bursting forth water, would accomplish.
