What does "This expression" refer to in the following paragraph?
"
In the summer of 1911, the explorer Hiram Bingham III
bushwhacked his way to a high ridge in the Andes of Peru
and beheld a dreamscape out of the past. There, set against
looming peaks cloaked in snow and wreathed in clouds,
5 was Machu Picchu, the famous “lost city” of the Incas.
This expression, popularized by Bingham, served as
a magical elixir for rundown imaginations. The words
evoked the romanticism of exploration and archaeology
at the time."
