The sea is at a particular level compared to land. Most land is above sea level (or it would be under the sea or very far inland).

If you are a mile above sea level, then you are a mile above where the sea would be if there was no land there.

A mile above sea level means that the point is located 5,280 feet (or approximately 1,609 meters) higher than sea level. This measurement is used to indicate altitude or elevation, typically in relation to mountain peaks or other landmarks.
