In the table above, the superscripts preceding each quantity indicates the source: $^1$ quantity from NASA Mars Fact Sheet, $^2$ quantity calculated by Sahana, $^3$ fixed terraforming condition.
The atmosphere of Mars would require an additional 3.8 x 10$^{18}$ kg of mass to reach our terraforming conditions. This amount of water vapor is slightly larger than the estimated total mass of the north polar ice cap.
Terraforming the atmosphere of Mars will require vaporizing ice from both the north and south polar ice caps.
