A "mirror" is defined as something that reflects visible light. Therefore, two mirrors facing each other will only reflect any light that comes into contact with them, along with any visible distortions inherent to the reflecting process, such as coloration from the metal in the mirror and impurities in the glass.

Given two theoretically "perfect" mirrors facing each other, the only thing reflected would be light. In the absence of friction or other interference, the light would travel infinitely and eternally. If one were able to look directly at this, one would literally just see light, as far as the eye could see.

Contrary to popular belief, mirrors do not reflect images. They reflect the light coming from objects and redirect that light to the human eye, giving the impression of an "image." In reality, the eye is seeing the actual object. It's just that the light coming from the object has been redirected.
