俯瞰

hukan
have a bird's eye view of, look out over

Both of these characters were new to me. The first character can be used as verbs: 俯く utumuku (to bend down), or 俯せる huseru (to lie prostrate, more commonly written as 伏せる huseru). The second character is also a weird verb variant of a very common verb: 瞰る miru (to look, see, much more commonly written as 見る miru).
