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.

Ethereum is about the biggest fn scam there ever was.. the GAS FEES says it all, there are no excuses at this point in the game Wanted to charge me 45 dollars to swap 15 dollars worth.. NO EXCUSE, ITS CALLED GREED

Gas is based on a bid system - others are bidding the prices up when you want them low. They are paying to get transactions through faster, which drives up the price. It's the market at play, nothing more.

i didn't know inanimate code could be greedy.
