Did you know that those two mountains are intervisible?

Root Explanation

Intervisible → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "visible" (from Latin "visibilis", meaning able to be seen). The word describes things that can be seen from one to the other, or are visible to each other across a distance.

Memory Tip

Think of things that are 'between' ('inter-') each other and 'able to be seen' ('visible') — that's why intervisible means they can see each other.
