First of all i wilI will try to explain what a geomagnetic pole reversal is.
A magnetic pole reversal happens when the magnetcmagnetic field weakens until it can no longer sustain itself,This. This can take 1000-3000 Years or more to complete the time it takes is very variable.
After years with a weak and somtimessometimes variable magnetic field,The. The magnetic field re emerges in its original, or in a changed direction,So. So it is not the poles moving over the surface of earth.

What happens during a geomagnetic pole reversal.
During a pole reversal earths magnetic field is weak so our planet is less protected from cosmic radiation and from the solar wind.

This increase in cosmic radiation does not fit any of the known exstinctionextinction events that have happened in earthsEarth's history,This. This does not mean nothing at all will happen to life during this time it only means the dangers are low.
If you want to follow how the cosmic radiation changes you can do this on the last part of this page http://spaceweather.com/

I mentioned in my comment earthsEarth's magnetic north pole is realyreally in the south,To undrstand. To understand how this can be true in a magnetic compass the magnetic north pole is repelled by earthsEarth's north pole so it does point in the opositeopposite direction (a bad explanation but it is how it works).
