called point nemo, which is the farthest you can possibly be on earth from land. and the closest people to you other than your competitors when you're there are actually the people in the international space station overhead. >> that just kind of boggles the mind. >> we are looking at the second of two noaa drifter buoys. >> reporter: in the southern ocean they deployed buoys provided by the u.s. government. >> one, two, three. >> reporter: these instruments monitor surface temperatures and ocean currents. >> so that then feeds weather forecasts. >> reporter: john hare is a noaa scientist. he says the data improves weather forecasting including tracking extreme events like hurricanes. >> how valuable is the information they've been collecting? >> i truly think it is invaluable because it's collecting information from parts of the ocean that we rarely have an opportunity to collect data from. >> stand by, guys. >> reporter: charlie enwright is focused on winning the race. but his team's name is a reminder that the clock is also ticking in the fight against

to fort moore, after hal and julia moore. he was the commander of american troops in the first head-to-head battle against the north vietnamese. she forever changed the impersonal system which sent "regret to inform you" telegrams to families of the fallen. >> julia moore saw this happening and she said not on my watch, i will personally deliver that telegram and i will put my arms around that family member. >> reporter: it's not just base names. it's all the confederate memorials and artifacts strewn across u.s. military installations. >> were you surprised at the degree to which confederate memorabilia is embedded in the army culture? >> i was surprised. there were hundreds of things that need to change. there's lee gate and lee housing area and lee barracks at west point. >> some people are going to say you are erasing history.
