Measurement abbreviation for a mountain.

I am looking for the meaning of an abbreviation ¨msnm ¨in relation to the height of a mountain. It must be meters, but how does this abbreviation become msnm? "Tiene una elevación de 4784 msnm." I can`t seem to find anything to answer this. Can someone explain this to me? Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
