I found some Mars-Express Hi-Res pictures of the Ice at Mars South Pole.
Latest estimates are that if it was melted it would cover Mars with in about 33 feet of water !!
Also the Radar camera has detected additional water up to 5 kilometers deep.

***Thoughts
33 feet deep, sounds very optimistic to me.
Would'nt the sand all soak it up? It has been dry for a few million years.
