<br />
== <big>Overview</big> ==<br />
Glimmer Fog is a unique variant of heavy fog within [[Region|Regions]] of the [[Tales from the Far Territory|Far Territory]] of [[Great Bear Island]]: [[Forsaken Airfield]], [[Zone of Contamination]] and [[Sundered Pass]].<br />
<br />
Like [[Weather|Heavy Fog]], Glimmer Fog reduces visibility (preventing [[Charcoal|Surveying]] and use of the [[Magnifying Lens]]) but also risks [[Insomnia]] when the survivor is above-ground, and similar to [[Aurora|Auroras]]: temporarily powers electronics (e.g. [[Handheld Shortwave Radio]], [[Flashlight]], vehicle headlights). Glimmer Fog causes snow and ice to crackle and discharge electricity constantly, while patches of fog flash with misty spectral colored lights.<br />
<br />
Insomnia Risk may be avoided by traveling underground or traveling to [[Transfer Pass]].<br />
<br />
The nighttime equivalent to Glimmer Fog is the [[Aurora]].<br />
<br />
Glimmer Fog is also present near the [[Suzuki Radio Telescope]] in [[Episode 5: The Light At The End Of All Things|Episode 5]] of [[Wintermute]] after two of the geothermal substations are repaired, though it does not cause [[Insomnia]].<br />
<br />
== <big>Effects</big> ==<br />
Glimmer Fog shares similarities to Auroras, but both weather types are distinct.<br />

Note: Flashlights "high beam" mode are effective deterrents against aurora predators (during an Aurora), and while they will be powered during Glimmer Fog, flashlights '''will be ineffective at deterring non-aurora predators'''.<br />
