We show that the problem of guarding an $x$-monotone terrain from an altitude line and the problem of guarding a uni-monotone polygon are equivalent. We present a polynomial time algorithm for both problems, and show that the cardinality of a minimum guard set and the cardinality of a maximum witness set coincide. Thus, uni-monotone polygons are perfect; this result also extends to monotone mountains.
