Accidentally send ETH to Polygon address (alien.top)

I wanted to withdraw ETH from Kraken to my Ethereum address on my ledger. So I added the address to my Kraken account and it gave me the prompt, from what I thought, to choose, through what network I want to send it. I choose Polygon. However, after clicking I realised how stupid I was, as I did not send ETH through polygon to my Ethereum address. Instead, I send ETH to a Polygon address.

Is there any way to recover my ETH, as I send it to an address I do own on the Ethereum chain? I now realise I have less knowledge than I thought, so please let me know if you need any more information.

Don't worry, your eth is safe. There are many ways to recover it, but I'd recommend installing metamask on your browser, connecting it to ledger and switching network in metamask to Polygon. You can then transfer the assets somewhere else on polygon or bridge to Ethereum. There are detailed guides online for each step.
