The nature of Dark Matter remains one of the most important unresolvedquestions of fundamental physics. Many models, including the Weakly InteractingMassive Particles (WIMPs), assume Dark Matter to be a particle and predict aweak coupling with Standard Model matter. If Dark Matter particles can scatteroff nuclei in the vicinity of a massive object, such as a star or a planet,they may lose kinetic energy and become gravitationally trapped in the centerof such objects, including Earth. As Dark Matter accumulates in the center ofthe Earth, self-annihilation of WIMPs into Standard Model particles can resultin an excess of neutrinos coming from the center of the Earth and detectable atthe IceCube Neutrino Observatory, situated at the geographic South Pole. Asearch for excess neutrinos from these annihilations has been performed on 10years of IceCube data, and results have been interpreted in the context of anumber of WIMP annihilation channels($\chi\chi\rightarrow\tau^+\tau^-/W^+W^-/b\bar{b}$) and masses ranging from 10GeV to 10 TeV. We present the results from this analysis and compare theoutcome with previous searches by other experiments. This analysis yieldscompetitive and world-leading results for masses $m_\chi$ > 100 GeV.
