Cook says:   "The North magnetic pole is now rapidly (dozens/hundreds of miles per year) moving from its old position..."

Interesting and an easy assumption to make about this movement, is that the South magnetic pole position will be tracking the North pole's movements. But I've found that assumption can be a highly unwarranted one, irrespective of whether you consider the earth's magnetic field to be due to a skewed dipole or a collection of mono-poles. What have you heard about this new rapid movement, in regards to the tracking between the movements of the magnetic poles?

No info.

I've never heard of any information, at any time, about the relative strength of the field, direction of travel, or previous positions of the South Magnetic pole.

I'd like to tell you I did know, but Ive never heard of anything about it.

(I would assume that lack of (published) research data doesn't always indicate lack of knowledge, but more likely, its a function of the difficulty of getting funding and travel and time and support facilities to the South Pole area where the "ple" comes back out through the earth.

Maxwell - Any other thoughts?

Speaking about the South Pole : it's in perpective here, from Flores's south coast, and the next land is Antarctis.
