</script>Let \(Y^\varepsilon(t)\) be the reflected two-dimensional Brownian motion in Wiener sausage \(D^\varepsilon\) of width \(\varepsilon>0\) around two-sided Brownian motion \(X_1(t)\). Here \(X_1(t)=X^+(t)\) if \(t>0\) and \(X_2(t)=X^-(-t)\) if \(t<0\), where \(X^+\) and \(X^-\) are independent Brownian motions. Suppose that \(X_2(t)\) is also a standard Brownian motion independent of \(X_1\). The process \(X(t)=X_1(X_2(t))\), \(t\geq 0\), is called an ``iterated Brownian motion'' (IBM). The main result of the article states that for some \(c(\varepsilon)\) the components of \(Y^\varepsilon\), i.e. \(\text{Re} Y^\varepsilon(c(\varepsilon)\varepsilon^{-2}t)\) and \(\text{Im} Y^\varepsilon(c(\varepsilon)\varepsilon^{-2}t)\) converge to one-dimensional Brownian motion and IBM, respectively, as \(\varepsilon\to 0\). Since diffusions on fractals are often constructed by an approximation process, this convergence provides the justification for use of IBM as a convenient model for Brownian motion in a Brownian crack other than a ``crack diffusion model'' introduced by \textit{Chudnovsky} and \textit{Kunin} [J. Appl. Phys. 62, 4124-4129 (1987)]. A few open problems are discussed.
